Well, maybe so but my eyes don't see what you see. They are not mushy and are nice a raised when you have it in hand. It certainly is not a Chinese fake made recently. The problem I really had with it was the weight was low and the reeding is almost non existent.
thanks,
bob
It would be pretty funny if there started to be modern counterfeits of classic counterfeits
PM sent!

Cool beans!
Good enough to pass at the time of manufacture, definitely worth further study.
Interesting... Thanks for showing us... and a great learning opportunity for collectors of that series. Cheers, RickO
If you find no takers, I would send a message to Gerry Fortin via his website. He has a link to a page of contemporary counterfeit Seated Liberty Dimes, so he would probably know of those who collect their Seated Liberty Quarter counterparts, too.
I work for the Secret Service. It is illegal to own so you must send it to me!
