    I'm suspicious of it.
  • coinguy1coinguy1 Posts: 13,484 ✭✭✭
    I am virtually certain (as in 99+%) that it is a counterfeit - sorry.

    Edited to add: It is too mushy, strike-wise and the surfaces are too uniform in appearance -there should be more transition in texture/finish from the devices to the fields.

    Vam 4, Small dots????? hmmmmmmm image

    didnt notice them, until you mentioned them Amanda, good catch.

    I always lean towards bogus when i see one of these (or a Trade dollar)

    Thx as always...

    Well, Ebay is no better, as we know...

  • VF 35 to XF but may grade lower - liberty not that bold.

    If its a fake - where can I buy one?

    I have a similar fake 1846 that was given to me a few years ago from a friend. It came out of a coin dealer's estate who liked to collect counterfeits. The date looks odd to me on this one as well.

    If you want to pay the price of a real one, I'll sell you my counterfeit as well.

    "Derek", if you think that coin is genuine, you'd best study up so that you can continue to pretend to be a coin dealer. Many such counterfeits of various dates can be found on Ebay from time to time.
  • It's as fake as Anna Nicole Smith!

    I've got a few of these, straight from Beijing. However, I can get bags full if anyone is interested image

  • Would sell it raw and price it at $300. The small shows are a good venue for nice collector coins.

    That coin is about as "real" a coin as derek is a "real" dealer!
  • BochimanBochiman Posts: 25,556 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Hmmm...maybe you just found Derek's ebay ID and auction image

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
