Maybe the worst fake I have seen yet - incorrectly categorized on the bay and since most of the cops don't scan the Barbers, here is another for you to feast on: 84-CC $1
Once more the picture is shot at weird angle to try to hide the crime. That guy knows he's selling a piece of junk which begs the question, why is his reserve so high.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
This is just another cheap cast Chinese fake. What tips me off is these always have a strange bulbous appearance along with a subdued reflectance that only a cheap casting can provide.
Reported.

There I was, so smug. Sure looked fake to me. My apologies to all.
. reported because of the images alone since the seller provided plenty of other images that are almost sufficient, so no excuse not to on this one, well except it probably isn't real lol .
<< <i>Take a look now, I asked him to post new pics head on and he's got new pics. Amazing, it's real! Cleaned but authentic. Can't believe those out of focus pics, one way or the other. bob >>
without doing diagnostics, i am compelled to agree with you and i almost feel bad about reporting it with crappy images although good images should have been provided. nice to see an exception to the rule(s) .
That one does not add up.....I agree it's bad. Notice the M (for Morgan) on the front? The real ones are straight up and down legs. This one is slanted like an upside down W. Should be M.
Dimple on cheek. Artificial coloring to make it look heavily circulated.
edit: maybe it's the pic angle on the M

Whatever the coin was, it has now been pulled.
