<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SirCharlie, post: 1239289, member: 17255&quot;]You nailed it.&nbsp; It&#039;s funky looking. You have to be careful, because there are many fakes that will even fool some pros. The face on this one actually looks pretty good, but there are other signs that give it away. The first one that grabbed me was the uniformity of the headdress feathers.&nbsp; The barbs are all perfectly even.&nbsp; That is not a characteristic of a genuine Indian, but is of a fake.&nbsp; Another common characteristic of a fake is the glob underneath the ear. All originals will be clearly scooped out, and this one has a glob ob metal.&nbsp; Compare it to an original, and you will see what I mean.&nbsp; The stars form is also wrong.&nbsp; The placement of the stars is wrong.&nbsp; The star located at about 1 o&#039;clock is touching the headdress feather, and will not on an original. The Indian&#039;s neck is also wrong.&nbsp; The safest way to purchase these would be to lean on the top graders such as PCGS and NGC or ANACS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
