The reverse of this one is the truth teller.
Wrong "N" in UNITED
The designer's initials is a mess, bowling ball size periods, period following the "D" is way to close to the "D"

    To be more precise, the listing was pulled by the seller. I messaged him twice. The first time, he was apparently highly skeptical of my assessment. I replied with additional information, which might have been what caused him to end the listing. Either way, the result was a good one.

    It seems to me that there are numerous "fakes" with that same obverse. I know I've seen it before on here.

    The reverse is way off as well. Besides having the wrong N in UNITED the dots between VDB are completely wrong. The dots on this coin are the size of basketballs in comparison to authentic SVDBs, not to mention the one between the D and B not being centered……….ok, I’ll mention it.

    it sure is nice to be part of a community that can consistently spot this crap. (considering how many fakes/knock-offs are being made in the world these days).

    AND take their valuable times to try and stop it. :+1:

    Well, thank you! I'm going to receive that as a compliment. I can't speak for the group but I'm sure they appreciate the compliment too, its a group effort!
    They're people who work in the background that sometimes don't comment, they make contacts, send messages and its makes them feel good about doing what they do when someone acknowledges their efforts, call them,

    The background channels! for me its great to know that whoever they are, are there ;)
