Fake 1821 large cent on the Bay

The obverse of all 1821 large cents were made from a single die. Besides the strange looking 2 in the date, the point of star 6 should point directly at the tip of Liberty's coronet. The seller is pnorskog.

    Definitely bad. I remember seeing a lot of this style counterfeit hitting the market a few years back, but haven't seen one in a while. A Chinese product.

    There's actually two obverse dies for 1821, but this one is way off. The head of Liberty here is the style of the hub used only for 1833-1834 Large Cents.

    Lady looks like a duuu-uuuude...

    And is quite unhappy about it.

    The 1889 Seated Quarter looks like a contemporary counterfeit.

    This 1851 that he is selling is not real either.

    And how about the 1883 half dollar in This lot? Why would anyone sell a lot like this without knowing the 1883 is a fake? I think he knows it is a fake and threw it into this lot hoping to catch a couple of suckers to bid it up.

    This coin could have been sea salvaged or smoething. I've seen worse--however, I would not purchase this coin at any price even if genuine. I am not saying it is real or fake as you say, hard to tell.

    Reported both.

    There was some other schmuck on here that did what he did with the four Seated halves, list three genuine low grades plus a high grade fake. Might be the same guy under a new alias.
