    That is definitely legit. image



    You can definitely see something on the shield, his pictures are awful and it is hard to make anything out. Definitely appears to be silver or at least in color. Not sure you should be buying coins if you are willing to bid on this..

    Looks like they photographed it right where they found it - cast off and sitting on the sidewalk.

    It does seem a bit unusual that he has so many 1838 Capped Bust halves for sale. He must've spent his whole life collecting nothing but 1838 Capped Bust halves!

    Me too.

    Sadly it's only a matter of time before the crooks learn from their mistakes.

    LOL. No picture of the reverse? I'm bummed I didn't see it... always thought my 1854-S was the first $10 in my SF set.

    Maybe the "S" stands for "solid lead"? I think I'll bid on it as it would make a nice addition to my growing collection of 1840-cc and 1846-cc Seated dollars. image

    No, not really.

    It's a fantasy piece. Why mark it copy?
