    Nope, not all three, but good guess.

    Presumably I have a 33% chance of getting it right. I’ll go with the top one.

    Bottom right? The toning appears a bit off.

    I was wondering about that, too.

    on the phone it looks worse than on the regular computer, so I let it go.

    Lower left. Details appear lower relief, and, I think I see a couple of depressions in the field.

    Yup all 3 look fake, at least from the picture. Many saying the lower left, it looks the closest to authentic of the 3 to me. RGDS!

    My eyes are failing and I can't judge real versus fake coins

    I will guess bottom left since bottom right and top seem to have more copper spots?

    Well I change my vote to the top one being fake, either that is fake or it has been damaged.

    Plus the top coin appears to have a raised dot by the L, and a couple of voids in the planchet by her head and shoulder.

    sheesh. took me a couple minutes to brush myself up on the variations of the roman numeral $20 saint. been a while. UHR, HR, HR wire

    i can't even think about properly authenticating (even for fun/practice from an image like this, which is pretty good)

    ok i only read half the thread pre-post. now i see it was moot but my loose guess was the top but just that.

    nice newps!

    The top one's hand detail (holding the staff) is missing too. I missed that the first go-around.
