<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2279200, member: 36230"]So let me get this straight.... you're comparing a 47-C to the OP's 41-C and using what differences you see as your "<i>evidence</i>" that it "<i>may be fake</i>"?

[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2279200, member: 36230"]So let me get this straight.... you're comparing a 47-C to the OP's 41-C and using what differences you see as your "[I]evidence[/I]" that it "[I]may be fake[/I]"? First, the reverse used on the 47 (also used in 46 and 48) is [I]NOT[/I] the same one used in 41 (and 42 as well). The mintmark was punched by hand, which easily and absolutely explains any differences you think you may see. While it is certainly wise to compare to known genuine examples, it is a worthless and potentially harmful exercise unless apples to apples. Also, there is a [I]zero[/I] chance that the coin in question is a 41-P/little princess. With all due respect, if you indeed collect these coins, it would be wise to invest your efforts into further educating yourself before making any(more) purchases. This isn't meant to be mean or rude, and is only a sincere suggestion for your benefit. Coins of this type are simply too expensive to make assumptions on, particularly when buying raw. I stand by my original assessment in regards to the coin's authenticity.[/QUOTE]
