[QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 2251320, member: 41863"]Im not saying you dont know what you are talking about, but there were 1.5 million coins made for this year and mint mark and I just think that the way you explained your process left out a good bit of info that can definitively make or break the diagnosis. Your comparison amounts to the following per your reply. You located a single graded example to compare the OP's coin to, which to me makes my point that it could just be a different CC punch, or an entirely different reverse pairing. Secondly, you say that you have observed these same types of CC marks on other fakes, but for analysis purposes, that doesnt do me or the OP any good as we dont share your brain, nor can we even verify this information since no supporting photos of other fake coins with the same diagnostics were posted. So, while your effort was extensive and you offered a reasonable explanation, it just leaves the issue wide open on whether or not this coin was a fake. Basically what I am saying is that an outsider would have no idea where your answer came from and might just take your word for it, never realizing that your process is flawed for anyone other than you. It amounts to this = We now know that the OPs coin is NOT from the same dies used against the genuine slabbed coin you compared it to. At least thats the only conclusion I can draw as of now.[/QUOTE]
