maybe i'm nutz (don't answer that) but check out this 62 Proof roll of Frank's....look at the 3rd picture....they put in the zoom feature....what the heck is off about the reverse?

something just doesn't LOOK RIGHT?

maybe I've gotten too nervous about Chinese counterfeits......but feel free to opine guys.

another reason might be, that I get leery about a PM seller that uses the name of a liquor as his moniker.........

something aint right...its the reverses that got me going. neil

The two coins look different for sure, but maybe it is just weird lighting? :?
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered....The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

The reverse on the right appears to have doubling on " e pluribus unum". On the obverse coins the jaw line and neck seems to be much smoother on on right hand coin. And the hair doesn't have as much detail. Buy them and keep us posted as to what you see :lol:

I think its the photography. In the two pics of the reverses, you get the light and the shades of the picture takers clothing which makes them look a little odd/dull.

Pics look good to me, some franks will be cameo, others mirrored.
