<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 8290393, member: 24314&quot;]This is a tough one and you all have been handicapped by only seeing micrographs of the date.&nbsp;&nbsp; A &amp; B are struck counterfeits that appeared about a year ago.&nbsp; They should fool most collectors who are not Jefferson collectors and very many of the smaller and older dealers.&nbsp; An experienced collector/dealer/authenticator should immediately become suspicious because the coins don&#039;t look &quot;right.&quot;&nbsp; I cannot make it clearer.&nbsp; It is something you feel in your gut the minute you see certain coins.&nbsp; Then you must try to prove yourself wrong while trying to authenticate the coin.&nbsp; With both fakes, the luster is &quot;off&quot; for a MS 1950-D and nickels of this era.&nbsp; The edges are sharp and semi-PL, one clue to many modern fakes.&nbsp; We&#039;ve not seen two of these fakes from the same die so I cannot provide &quot;markers&quot; to ID other 50-D counterfeits.&nbsp; As I posted, this was a tough one as <i><span style="color: #b30000">each of the images looks genuine.</span></i>&nbsp; Just remember this is strictly <b><span style="color: #b30000">A GAME</span></b> and not a Gotcha.&nbsp; That&#039;s why voting is anonymous.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
