why is the shield blurred out?

<< why is the shield blurred out? >>

Either it was not in the original die or was not struck properly. Being a counterfeit, I guess it is not a big problem.

It has to be a shill, in my opinion.

Some nice other auctions, 1799 Trade Dollar is a beaut.

Gemini · May 19, 2009 9:24PM

Serious money put down for an opening bid. You'd think someone putting down that kind of money would be somewhat an advanced collector who should be able to easily spot this coin as a being fake from a mile away. Maybe some opening shill bidding to suck bidders in?

funny...looks like the seller even used an old 2x2 holder to try to deceive the buyer.

two of the staples have been re-stapled.

<< two of the staples have been re-stapled. >>

You'd think whomever removed the bottom two staples, slide the original coin out and slipped a very suspect coin in it's place, would have placed the staples back in the holes correctly!

I have an example of this fake. Shield details are weak - i always wondered if it was the die or intentional wear after striking. Still not sure but this makes me think the die is poor.

From the auction:

You be the Judge

Goody. Can I be the jury and the executioner, too?

Is it called a Trade Dollar because it's from China? My brother-in-law brought two just like this one back from Iraq.

fiveNdime · May 20, 2009 5:38AM

"item is no longer for sale"

LRCTom · May 20, 2009 6:33AM

Success! Listing ended by seller.

numisdave · May 20, 2009 6:38AM

Do you guys think the seller knew it was a fake?

Probably knew but once his cover was blown, the jig was up.

How about His genuine non-gradable slabbed 1895 O LOL

Linky

At least the 95-O is real.

MsMorrisine · May 20, 2009 9:10AM

perhaps someone here can answer this then...

1799 silver trade dollar what is it worth?

my answer would be: "it''s fake as there were no 1799 trade dollars made. Assuming it is marked US/USA"

True or False?

Ouch. Someone got burnt
