@asheland yup. unfortunately if I was a newbie I would have been burned by this too. Thankfully I had mentors who helped me out when I started. we need to do good for our fellow enthusiasts. We shouldn't allow the counterfeits to run wild.

I agree!

Thanks for the post... it's a good reminder to check the whole coin. The rest of the detail looks pretty good.
