Bought a small Craig's List collection in bulk and found this....

....as most of you who know me know, I don't know much about dates unless they are rainbowed. Especially less if they are circulated. But when I put it up for auction on eBay with a 18 other commons from that purchase, I had a person offer me $100 for the silver coins only to end it early. Well, that made me think something special might be there.

Can anyone tell me from my cell phone pics if this 1875-CC 20 Cent piece is real or fake?

Thanks, Doug

The feathers on the end of the arrows between the C C is missing

I can't tell from your images alone, but everyone else seems to think it's not real.

The Liberty on the shield looks really bad.

Looks like a decent cast copy.
Her face and the eagles claws look funny.

The edge appears suspect, and Miss Liberty's nostril is too large.

The images aren't square and they're a little fuzzy. So it's hard to say.

I don't like the mintmark. If it's fake it's a pretty good one.

Craigslist is where I would look for tools and _ _ _ _. Probably not so much for numismatics. Hope you scored with the "bulk" of things.

Thanks to everyone who helped me figure out this is a fake. I would never have wanted to hurt another collector/investor of our hobby by passing it along as real. It will never hit the market thanks to you all!

I agree with you, the only think worse than making a mistake and buying a fake is making a mistake by selling a fake.
