<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 400996, member: 13650&quot;]rzage is right.&nbsp; The condition is one thing you have going for you.&nbsp; Usually it isn&#039;t worth it to counterfeit something unless it&#039;s in a lot better condition so they can make more money.&nbsp; Or unless it&#039;s a much higher dollar coin.&nbsp; Some older coins though, may have been counterfeited and used in circulation during that time also.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; For the most part, it should be very rare to find a counterfeit but these days, people are undoing slabs and putting fake coins or poorer graded coins back into the slabs and even putting in the correct #&#039;s to match what&#039;s on the grading companies site.&nbsp; And the Chinese have sent a lot of counterfeit crap over here too.&nbsp; So you can never be too sure.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; In comparing your coin with other ones, some things just bother me.&nbsp; It could be different dies that caused the uniqueness of yours but there were only around 2 million minted so&nbsp; I don&#039;t know how many they would have went through.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Basically, the beak seems short and curvy.&nbsp; The base of the &#039;1&#039; in 1890 looks really fat which is a prime characteristic of a counterfeit.&nbsp;&nbsp; The bottom of the &#039;D&#039; in dollar looks fat and so do some of the I&#039;s.&nbsp; The base of the E in E Pluribus looks like it starts angling up early, where as there should be more of a straight thin line for the base.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Maybe I&#039;m just seeing things on a well worn coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
