<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davidh, post: 2137746, member: 15062&quot;]Well actually I didn&#039;t name any of the points on the pictures as anything specific, they are just points to consider.&nbsp; There are many other points I didn&#039;t circle that point to the coin being questionable.&nbsp; If you compare the pictured coin stereoscopically with a coin known to be valid the errors are fairly easy to pick up on - the circled feather on the eagle&#039;s right wing is too wide, the checkering on the breast is incorrect, the spacing of some of the lettering is off, etc.&nbsp; The first most telling detail, to me, is the extreme pebbling of the fields, especially below the eagle on the reverse. There are many die gouges or scratches visible under magnification.&nbsp; The die &quot;polishing&quot; looks like it was done with 220 grit sandpaper.&nbsp; There are also many marks which might be best described as &quot;PMD&quot; but which might have been made as part of the minting process.&nbsp; I&#039;m not a big name expert but I can tell this coin is a fake.&nbsp; And you serve no one by hiding the &quot;evidence&quot; you have from those who aren&#039;t sure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
