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.

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

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

    Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. 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 ... ?

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

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

    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.
