Very cool obverse. I like it.

Very funny, how you laid the counterfeit coin over a PCGS prong holder.

It looks like the cat got out of the bag right quick!

I was hoping that no one would catch on this quick, but, now that you have...I wonder if it's a CC or a modern copy?

Sadly, you're probably right. It's the best copy I've ever held in my hand of any Bust coin...it seems to be a very good copy of the B.10

One of these things is not like the others, One of these things just doesn't belong.

Didn't catch this one right off the bat, but after staring at it harder, I can see it's a cast.

Very deceptive! Devices are proportional. Accurately-shaped numerals. Mushy, but not as mushy many modern counterfeits.

I could see this one getting past a lot of people.

One thing about this coin - the second you look at the rim, you'll know it isn't real. The rim looks more like a pre-1965 Washington quarter rim.

Thanks for posting that coin. I've started working on my Dansco 7070 and that is a pointed reminder of what I need to look out for when buying raw coins. That's quite the deceptive piece - my first reaction was too bad it's been dipped. I think I would have been fooled.

Here's a picture of the rim. If you have a large BQ, compare and see.

it happens a lot from images, especially if they are a bit blurry, no offense to the op and thanks for sharing

but it can be quite challenging to catch this stuff w/o seeing it in-hand. i'm confident if it were handed to you by a shop owner or whatnot, you'd catch it right away

judging by the denticles and the reeding, im guessing chinese, but a determination of the alloy would best determine (roughly) when it was made.

Sure looks fake.
