<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bqcoins, post: 510418, member: 5036&quot;]I went to my local dealer, because I had a long lunch.&nbsp; I got to the store and proceeded to look in the case.&nbsp; There were two mercury dimes a 21 and 21-d both in XF from the look on the obverse, but with a cleaned appearance.&nbsp; I asked to see them and when I was looking at them under a 16X loupe I noticed that the 21 seemed skinnier than they should be and the surface seemed grainy.&nbsp; I flipped them over and sure enough, I could see an a casting line on the very edge of the of the reverse, and some casting bubbles, on both coins.&nbsp; I let my dealer know and he took out a couple of genuine examples out of the case and we did a side by side comparison.&nbsp; Except for the digits and the casting line the coins were near spot on.&nbsp; Scary.&nbsp; Well, the dealer pulled them out and is going to talk to the fellow they were on consignment from, just to see how he got these coins into his possession.&nbsp; He&#039;ll let me know what kind of outcome comes out of this, but I find it incredible that I&#039;m seeing good counterfeits in small town.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
