I could use some help with this 1878cc. It’s not magnetic and weighs 26.6 grams. The mint mark doesn’t look right to me. Please the attached pictures.
Is this coin real or fake? If real, I was told it would grade as high as AU58.
Thank you in advance.

AU58? Not seeing it.
Give it the magnet test.
It is not magnetic. I used a n52 magnet.
I don't know if it is real or not but it isn't even close to being an AU58.
Here's my 78-CC (PCGS MS66) for comparison:
Looks cleaned anyway.
Pointfivezero nice coin. Also I personally agree with the other comments that this coin is not AU58. The mint mark to me almost looks like it was added on and it appears to be a little higher than the D and O
Thank you for the comments so far
Genuine..... not a fake.
there could be more than one die.
did you check the vam web site?
Yes, I checked the vam site and came out empty.
Doesn't look fake to me. Does look about XF45 to me though.

Yes, I saw vam 4 and it was the closest of all the selections but I thought it was still a stretch, but you could be right. It seems from comments so far that it appears real. Thank you
Eagles' head. Date. FAKE.
You should be able to confirm it by the 4th broken star and the die chip in the nose.
don't think it is vam 4
here is plate photo on the page side-by-side. there is the crooked first "C"
Could be a Vam 22
VAM 9 has the broken 4th star, too.
It is a genuine but cleaned example.....worth about $40 IMHO.

Vam 9 is a short nock.
16 reverse dies?
how do they know?
Are they all VAM-med?
Agree thee CC's are close on 4.
Looks more like the 22
Would need better photos or for the OP to confirm.
I agree with most, genuine, cleaned and XF45.

XF45 and real.

Thank you to everyone that provided comments which gave me confidence in selling it, which I ended up doing today.
Stay safe and merry Christmas
