Re: I bid on some fake items, but haven't paid...
P, Did Live Auctioneers or did Key Dates Auctions (AKA Silver Trades) have that many listings for graded coins? Do a search for Key Date Auctions at the link provided and a bunch of Morgan dollar ender rolls pop up. The rolls are the "window" style that were popular in the 50's & 60's ...

The software is often used to do an overlay to confirm a mintmark position for a variety.
Here is a LINK http://www.maddieclashes.com/one-cent-overlays/ to coin overlays at MaddieClashes.com.
In the case of die anomalies showing up on a coin, it can be used to confirm a die clash.

Yep, a die clash.
Although it is not very strong, the reverse memorial building is almost entirely visible, which is neat compared to most clashes.
Take a look at the links DCS coins provided and you will see some doozies.

Try a magnet on the edge (but be careful to make sure it doesn't get damaged).
You may need to send it to Paul or one of the grading companies to authenticate it, if it's real.
