<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 2163239, member: 15929&quot;]I see, different photo&#039;s, at different resolutions, with different color adjustments and different lighting angles.</p><p><br /></p><p>I asked the OP for some &quot;Tells&quot; and got a reply regarding &quot;lathe lines&quot;. I have a 1935 that has those very same &quot;lathe lines&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>The metallic analysis done and posted for all to see tells me that the coin in the OP, for all intents and purposes, appears to be authentic. Especially considering the fact that the 90%/10% alloy composition also contains &quot;trace&quot; elements of which aluminum would certainly be acceptable.</p><p><br /></p><p>The final straw would be to have the coin examined by either Dan or a TPG.</p><p>Of course, the &quot;sky is falling&quot; crowd will quickly revert to the fact that sometimes the TPG&#039;s even miss them.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, aside from all the name calling and intellectual innuendo&#039;s, this thread has evolved into nothing that offers any meaningful tell of a coin being counterfeit other than &quot;personal opinion&quot; based upon two 2D photograph&#039;s and no real expert opinion other than DCARR&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Additionally, the thread title of &quot;The Next Generation Of Chinese Counterfeits Have Arrived&quot; is a bit misleading since a PCGS Article exists regarding 1934 Washington Counterfeits &quot;from 1985&quot;. The articles were written in 2009 but the article is about coins first viewed in 1985.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.pcgs.com/News/A-Blazing-Gem-1934-Quarter-simply-Too-Good-To-Be" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com/News/A-Blazing-Gem-1934-Quarter-simply-Too-Good-To-Be" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcgs.com/News/A-Blazing-Gem-1934-Quarter-simply-Too-Good-To-Be</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I am not going to question every coin I&#039;ve ever purchased, either raw or slabbed, as to whether or not its authentic as it is just a waste of time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
