Could someone point out the tip off to being fakes?
Actually the very first tipoff for me was the price. No one sells a 93s for that price. Beyond that, there is a certain look which is hard to describe. The 01 is the most obvious to me. It looks almost like liberty is carved out of chalk. The edges are soft and kind of mushy. Where there is "wear", it is in the wrong places. There is almost no color differentiation within the devices For me, it's just about looking at enough circulated Morgans and then these fakes just kind of jump out at you. Perhaps someone else can explain better.

While we're at it you guys can report this one, too. I love the crummy images.
