Clever way to get rid of your fakes (he actually is selling this fake as a single as well). Can you see which one is a fake?

    I saw the 'shallow' depth of the obverse as well as those 'fat' stars :)
    Thank you for the educational post <3

    The relief of the date on the 1880 immediately draws attention. Fake.

    Wonder if I could pass this one off :wink:

    IMHO the center item is indeed a wooden nickel! The items on the left and right clearly are not! ;)

    The one in the middle is a two feather.

    A two feather wooden nickel! How novel!

    I don’t like the 1880-CC, top left.

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 ... ?

    1880 top left.

    One look at it and boom!! It's obvious imo.

    I think it's the 1880. Just has a flat, lifeless look to it. I in UNITED looks malformed, too.

  • bsshog40bsshog40 Posts: 3,971 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Yea I'm in the 1880 crowd also.

    I'm with 1880 also. The CC looks a little out of position with regards to the date.

    The 1880....the reasons posted by @AUandAG are obvious.... Cheers, RickO

    I'll go with the rattler, Bottom right even though number 1 looks like the fake.

    Yes, the 1880CC is the bad coin.

    I'm surprised that nobody noted the fact that the luster is looks right on the other four and wrong on the 1880. It has a dull, cleaned look, no cartwheel look, as on the others.

    Funny I knew which it was, but didn't definitively know why.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
