[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2418713, member: 1892"]For the record, I think it's fake, too. But.... It's only 1.5% light, and can you say with [I]absolute certainty[/I] that all 1895-S varieties have been discovered? Here's the "cartoonish" date, overlaid with one from a Heritage VG18: [ATTACH=full]500817[/ATTACH] Digits are too thick, especially in view of the level of wear - which doesn't even closely match, obverse to reverse, which is my own personal reason for believing it counterfeit - it's [I]nowhere near[/I] a VG reverse - but it's not [B]that[/B] far off. Spacing is pretty darn good. The images aren't clear enough to make out what's happening around the N. Get it into the hands of somebody. Maybe [USER=1765]@messydesk[/USER] would like to look at it. It's a pretty decent fake, at least in these images.[/QUOTE]
