I don't think so as this cost $1.99 delivered. I also purchased 2 bar cent's and the planchet has something mixed in
with it to give a toning or aged look. I'm trying to buy 2 samples of each to see if they all have the same appearance and. post here so everyone will see it. So far both the bar cent and gold has identical looks.

What is the cost for a full set in a Dansco? Might look nice on the coffee table.

I don't think they have all of them. I think they go after the money ones.
But would be cool

Wow... sure looks like they are getting serious.... and they must be making money on these things or they would not be offered..... Getting scary... Cheers, RickO

Interesting piece, and I would be tempted to buy one just for fun as well.... BUT... it's a good enough fake I would be worried it would eventually be sold as genuine, by my heirs, etc. Are you doing anything to t so others know it is a fake and to make sure no one will be fooled by it in the future?

I see you bought the "Gold Plated" version. I spent an extra
twenty five cents and bought the "Platinum Plated" version.
I hope to buy the "W" mint mark next week.

I'm not really sure this can be mistaken for the real deal but, I have several albums with different copies, fakes
etc...... and clearly marked. I also keep pictures with explainations online in my PCGS registry.
PCGS is so very cool for allowing other than theirs in your registry!

Hmmmm, glad I opened the other coin flip. This one is an 1875 and not proof like.

Why are any of you supporting counterfeiters?

I can’t answer for everyone but I do like having it so I can post them here and on instagram. There are many new collectors that might fall for these and if I help even one I’m happy.

Putting even one cent into the pockets of ANY counterfeiter or seller of counterfeits - whoever and wherever they are - is disgusting!

coinsarefun · July 28, 2019 1:52PM

I can think of several pockets where putting money into in disgusting
