<p>[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2551770, member: 76194"]It's a coin I bought at a recent auction, and I don't want to post the entire coin and condemn an authentic coin as a fake in other potential customers' minds, especially if it isn't fake (sometimes the accusation does the harm, even if the evidence turns out to say something else). So it wouldn't be fair to the dealer if I decide to return it to post the entire coin, considering I'm not 100% sure of authenticity or lack thereof one way or the other (and it's a good dealer we are talking about). So I will leave the dealer ID and coin ID a mystery. Sorry guys. I hope you understand.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will just say that the first picture (the one to the left of the screen), the line is recessed into the coin.
