    Don't go out and spend your money!
    Why do you think it is in the bag?
    Do you think it is silver?

    I suggest you pull up an image of an 1874-CC coin.

    Well, you got an answer. :)

    Oh, the arrows! It felt so real at first.

    Let's see how many posters we can get on to this thread that confirm this POS is not genuine! Bump. >:)

    OMG! Even I can see how poor that fake is. Reminder that knowledge is power and avoids getting snookered. We need to see items like that. Peace Roy

    The bad news - It's fake as everyone else has pointed out.
    The good news - If you bought it in a 90% bag - you likely paid close to melt, so about $6-7 for it. I have a few collector friends who have counterfeit collections and would easily double your investment for it! 8-)

    I wonder if it's really silver. I'd love to take a hammer to some of these counterfeits for educational purposes of course ;)

  • jmlanzafjmlanzaf Posts: 37,040 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Depending on where the silver bag came from, I would guess that it is silver. Dealers with bullion pieces like that have to get rid of them somehow and if they are 90%, they are 90%.

    All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.

    More bad news:

    • the op missed an obvious fake & post it online as genuine “ 1874-CC Seated half found ...”
    • what else has the op missed from the buy & in the past...
    • the coin in question may or may not be silver...my vote is nyet.
  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Wow... really bad counterfeit.....Hope the rest of the bag was ok... better check them again. Cheers, RickO

    The rest of the bag was mostly just Walkers and Franklins, and some Barbers...definitely no fakes there. I guess someone just decided to clown around at toss it in.
