I dont think its a counterfeit coin. Just a polished business strike.
I suppose that could be possible. The fields were higher than parts of the design at places, but that could be caused by a very zealous buffer around design elements I suppose. I should have taken more photos. Definitely not the proof coin I had ordered, however.
Wendell Carper It's a bird! It's a plane! Aw nuts... It's merely two die scratches!
I really think it’s a business strike. What I find to be odd though, is why would somebody put that much effort into making the coin appear to be a proof when they simply could’ve purchased a certified example for $50-75? And even less for an uncertified coin. And whoever it was, they sure were extremely meticulous about it. Maybe it was a practice coin…honing their doctoring skills so they can eventually dupe people into buying the higher value coins.
The latest post reminded me we had this thread. Here's a 1914_D that was in a Type Set I bought on eBay years ago....I only bid based on the silver because I knew it was too good to be true. The mm location gives this one away even without close ups....it does weigh 3.0 grams
I keep a collage of the legitimate mint mark positions on my laptop. As I recall, there are 5 different ones.
