[QUOTE="lkeigwin, post: 1530558, member: 30400"]Wow. That one is really good. No doubt the counterfeiters watch for feedback on coin forums. The only thing I see that makes me suspicious is the raggedness of the top of the individual bars in the bar code. The genuine one is better formed, straighter at the top. First image below is your fake. Second is a real one. (Excuse the pix. They are cropped from some old slab shots that didn't matter.) The barcodes have gotten better, as have the fonts (size, style, serifs, etc.). The hologram looks a little too good compared to what I examined but it checks out. I didn't study the holder. Lance.
