<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 833314, member: 15199"]The photos are a little too small on the mintmark, which would be a strong indicator, as the "S" is a very distinctive serif kind, and it has a tiny die chip in the upper loop and a groove in the upper serif. If you could use your magnifier on that area it might help. If you could buy it with the proviso that if it comes back non-genuine from a top 3 TPG, he will refund, and it meets your price, that might work. Otherwise, the risk is too high and there are way too many altered ones out there ( even before the Chinese, so a person could have it for a long time and it still is not true). We always wonder why such a coin has not already been slabbed, and often it is because there is a problem such as color or cleaning. But maybe he is just a person who believes in the background of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
