Message:: [QUOTE="Insider, post: 24732565, member: 24314"]#1 I was raised by wolves.  I hate dealing with 99.9% of people, especially the clowns of the world. 2. In my experience, when someone is stumped for an answer, they duck out with humor. #3 When I take the time to post something that just might help those who are not as "expert" as you and others, I hope for serious replies.  Perhaps I should not have included you with the others because at least you stated an opinion - fake. Therefore, I <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie10" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> deserve to be called out by you. 4.  There is something very obviously "wrong" about this coin.  When I ask: "WHAT DO YOU SEE," I am in hopes that members will answer in detail.  It helps everyone.  Saying "FAKE" helps very little.  In this case, file marks, crevices, seam, all apply and will help novices who are too afraid to answer a simple question. 5.

Correction: I gave no opinion in the OP.  I asked a question. It was not answered by the "cats."  F's all around this time. And F's to anyone who does not understand the reason I ALWAYS ask for a detailed analysis of what they see.  I am trying to train the eyes and minds of members, so they become better collectors.  HERE IS A CLUE:  Today we got in an 1860-S 25c in VF that had the surface of a dug coin.  The person who dropped it off had a great story.  Several dealers wanted to buy it and sent the guy to us.  The coin looked perfectly genuine - VF details.   The coin looked good with a hand lens.  When I asked some very experienced professionals to look at the coin and describe (in words) what they saw THEIR OPINIONS CHANGED!  The coin is a counterfeit!  So hopefully, some of you guys will humor me the next time without trying to be funny.  OVER GRADED, ALTERED & COUNTERFEIT coins are not funny.  My "rant" is over. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> [/QUOTE]
