Thanks all
I'm confused... you wouldn't know a counterfeit if it was staring you in the face...

Cannot speak to the colonial but the rest of them are right as rain.
If I had that first coin, I would probably just throw it on eBay with a shrug of a description and let people more knowledgeable than me decide what it's worth. Even if it is a contemporary counterfeit, it probably has value to a collector of such.

Lol William
I only lol'd cause me and you both ruled against another coin which everyone passed.
Also see the 8,,, flattened JMO
PS it gets even better,,,, he actually is giving them a grade also
Contact mark. No big deal.
Why are we calling out some random guy here?
I wish the 3 cent silver was a contemporary counterfeit. They're expensive as such!

How expensive? I've got one sonewhere.
He needs fresh trolling meat and is fishing for someone to get him started with the authentic vs counterfeit nonsense.
I'm not calling him out,,, my bad
Thanks all
Here is one being offered (they don't come up very often):

So you are saying that someone who sells copies can only sell copies, or if they sell genuine coins they can only sell genuine coins?
That is literally saying "this coin is real because those coins are real", which is not a valid argument.
Collector, occasional seller
No not at all what I'm saying,,, I said I wanted to show you all what I seen when I bought my supposed fake coin surrounded by real coins all different years.
That's all
The 1st coin is not a colonial. It's an English Farthing or Half Penny that most likely that was found with a metal detector.
Me see no counterfeits, just a few that are abused!
I'm not trying to do anything but paint a picture of how one might think it is strange for a supposed reproduction to be amongst real old coins.
I'm not a troll.
Thanks all,,, it was a simple creditability check.
I believe you were successful.

You are calling him out. You stated his name. And this thread is inappropriate. It is either you trolling the seller or advertising the seller. Either way, it doesn't really belong on the forum.
That's really not what you said in the OP. And all we really have is you erroneously "supposing" a coin to be a reproduction.

Saved from an edit.
This thread is just another "back door" attempt to reopen a discussion on the OP's counterfeit large cent - a discussion which the moderators have already closed twice.
My bad
I'm not trying to bring up my coin.
Here is another one that is still active and pretty reasonable all things considered. I have an example of this particular die or I would have already purchased it:

Someone sniped it at the opening bid, was it you?

PS I'm my opinion it was free advertising not calling anyone out, I was thinking about getting the coins,,,I still have questions on my other old cents and we know how well things go.
To answer about that mark in my opinion it's obviously not PMD and the mint in fact did do it & it's not supposed to be there therefore in my book hmmm think about it.
Anyways thanks all for everything
So I should've said to do the flattening on said coin,,,, wait what what what
Yes to flatten the supposed 8,,, well you're gonna have to make a machine doubling die in my opinion cause you'll never match it perfect,, plot thickens
This is where the fire within ignites for I've been in the Counterfeit coins forums part and see this a lot
Hmmm machine doubling cause I doubt you all will call it a double die would most likely be IMPOSSIBLE back then.
Let's see shall we
Look up "Longacre doubling" and lay off the sauce.

No. I was thinking about it and moved on with my day. That was a decent deal for a scarcer bogus 3c
