Don't miss your chance to own a newly discovered 1807 Capped Bust Half Dollar marriage(?). Interesting how the eagle on the reverse is so different from all the other 1807 CBH eagles. "Alter" your date. "Cast" in your bid.

I can tell just by the lettering on the reverse.

This design is more like the 1809 bust half. The 1807 and 1808 were of a more slender design. Starting in 1809 Ms Liberty and the Eagle became more bulky. After collecting these halves for a while you can spot fakes easily. This is why it is dangerous to cross collect in an area you are not familiar with. There are a lot series issues I could be fooled in outside of the bust half arena.
I particularily found the EAGLES HEAD interesting. No bust half has an eagles head that looks like this one. So in that respect it may not be a purely cast reproduction unless it was modified after the cast was made. Also the date probably was die cut as a cast would have had the 1809 date.
In contemporary counterfeits of the era often dates were placed on coins that did not match the year issued. For instance in reeded edge 50c pieces I have seen dates in the early 1830's when in fact the first reeded edge was minted in 1836 and ect. I have even seen seated liberty halves with bust half dates!!
Hope this helps.

Looks to be an altered 1809 O-106.
Same old 1807

He's got to get back the $530.20 it just spent to buy this jewel.
Source of 1855-S $3
Paid $4,272 for it from the same seller trying to sell the 1870-CC half discussed in another thread. Then tried to get someone to buy it for $15K to $30K. Obviously didn't sell it. It is possible that the seller has heard that money can be made by buying coins, giving them a better and fancier description incl. grade, then selling them for more money. That could work, if the flipper has enough knowledge to avoid overgraded and possibly bogus coins. However, it appears (in my opinion) that this flipper doesn't have enough knowledge to avoid the traps set by others, and others are adept at avoiding "her" traps. IMO the conclusion is that "she" will either go broke doing this or will be NARU'ed.

1855-S $3 gold ebay listing
Aunt Sahar is not going to like you Mozin. When you drive your Jag around town keep an eye on your rear view mirror.
I personally know zilch about gold but for those who might know for sure that Aunt Sahar is selling a fake click on the Ebay Counterfeit Link and enter the auction lot number in the drop box. If Ebay gets enough of these they will pull the auction and if Aunt Sahar keeps getting this kind of action she will be looking for a new Ebay name.
Ebay Counterfeit Link
Then click on the link that says: Report counterfeit or replica items.
You will have to enter your ebay id and password and it will take you to a drop box that instructs you to enter the auction number. It's that simple.
10:40 AM: After joining as "koinking", Sarah placed a post on the "You'll be sorry if you get outbid on this on this one! Say what??" thread. He, Aunt Sarah, called board members "HOMOSEXUAL SISSIES" and challenged us with "WHO IS BRAVE ENOUGH TO LIST YOUR ADDRESS OR COME TO BOSTON?" and "WHO WANT'S TO MEET ME IN PERSON AND TALK ALL THAT TRASH?????"
10:49 AM: Sarah posts another message along similar lines. He claims to be a "6 FOOT 6 INCH OUTLAW BIKER" and "EX CONVICT". Also, purports to be the nephew of Aunt Sarah and claims that Sarah "CHOPPED WOOD" and "BAILED HAY ALL HER LIFE"... He used phrases such as "Ireland Forever" and "Tiocfaidh Ar La!".
11:05 AM: After failing to bring enough attention to himself, Sarah created two new threads, including the one below. A message board melee ensued. I have censored this post to remove the names of 37 board members.
11:29 AM: The first of three threads goes poof. Within hours, all of Aunt Sarah's auctions are removed from ebay.
