<p>[QUOTE="Travlntiques, post: 2489019, member: 39129"]The edge is a good tip-off something MIGHT be amiss, but don't put too much heft in it because, like Colonial John said, genuine examples can exhibit such things and most of the fake American coins I have dealt with were cast so that the seam was along the top or bottom side of the rim making it VERY discreet. I would pay more attention to what looks like porosity below the die crack.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
