<p>[QUOTE="Collect89, post: 1899183, member: 15445"]cpm9ball's suggestion of comparing the suspect coin to a known good coin is a good suggestion. If a coin appears strange to you, then that is a good indication that it may not be a real mint product. The genuine 1799 dollar was not struck in a collar and it has denticles all around the perimeter. The Ebay 1799 coin not only looks like it was struck in a collar but it just looks plain bad. </p><p><br /></p><p>The ANA offers courses in counterfeit detection & grading where you can inspect hundreds of coins (both good & bad).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
