Says it may be fake.......I don't have enough knowledge to say one way or the other.......date looks kinda funny to me. If its real and the buyer actually gets it, it's a good deal, in my opinion.

Need some of the seated dudes to look at this one.

I've paid more than that for coins I KNEW were fakes!! LOL
Can't be too bad of a deal IMO

Is the buyer boobar in the crowd? It will be interesting to see what you get and when -

Look at a very similar item this seller had 2 months ago - buyer wasn't happy

IT"S A FAKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There was an article in Golbrecht Journal about these fakes (I think it was 1844 and 1846) they can be easily recognized by the deep cut in the shield

Thank you, sadysta1. Where is this deep cut? I looked at the picture again, but I'm not sure what to look for.

Gerry from LSCC was selling the counterfeits for $18 each so members could look at the counterfeit diagnostics. He wrote that they were fairly good.

Probably counterfiet with a BIN of $13. Seems like he believes it's definitely counterfiet

Conder101

Definitely fake. He tells you in the listing that it weighs 20.9 grams. Since a genuine weighs 26.7 grams this one can't be real.

They`re fake , it weighs too little

I think everyone's missing the point of this thread, the seller has invented/created a new word and we all should rejoice.

"sa-mil-iar /samilyer/ - adj. 1 nearly the same. 2 excessively familiar. 3 practically identical. 4 numis. pertaining to a counterfeit piece, esp. one considered to be of above-average quality."
