I wonder...

Could be a copper nickel one

ziggy29 · July 16, 2004 12:55PM

Well, it really has "1804" on the date...

DMWJR · July 16, 2004 12:56PM

Looks like an erosion spark copy from another copy???

nankraut · July 16, 2004 12:59PM

Like Elaine Benez said on "Seinfeld: FAKE FAKE FAKE!

Here's the link.
I bought enough junk today. I have no Idea about this one. 1804 is listed as Proof only.

Best.
do just a little homework please

bestbino · July 16, 2004 1:10PM

Hey 100, I'm on your side. Homework?? So, is there anything authentic on Ebay ??

ziggy29 · July 16, 2004 1:13PM

Sure. There's plenty of authentic stuff on eBay. But if it's desirable material offered at five cents on the dollar, remember that there's no Santa Claus in numismatics and that there's likely a 99.99% chance that something's rotten.

Geeze, I never saw so many Doubting Thomas' .. You Guys are brutal on the poor little Ebayers.

KlectorKid · July 16, 2004 1:21PM

99% sure this is a copy and not a very good one at that.

If that's you I'd retract that bid immediately. You aren't going to buy an 1804 dollar for $120

jhar · July 16, 2004 1:27PM

looks like a fake to me.

bestbino · July 16, 2004 1:28PM

No that is not me. But if it was a real 1804 $120 would be a pretty good deal.

Yeah, but a fake for $120 would not be a good deal at all.

Spark erosion. The features are soft and mushy but not due to honest wear.

IMO, it is a FAKE.

boyhowdy · July 16, 2004 2:59PM

I was going to say maybe a sand casting but that wire rim is more indicative of a spark erosion copy, I think.

Stevie Wonder can see that ones bogus.
