Hi everyone,
I am interested in this coin but have only the two pictures and no infos weight...
I am not sure if it is authentic. Few details bizarre for me
Need your thoughts please.

    I’m not even a coin guy but that’s bad. Look at the date pop out from the rest. If I’m wrong I’ll never comment again

    Quite fake. It's got a Type 2 reverse for one, and it's very poorly made. Very obvious...

    Edit: if you're looking for a real one, I've got a raw XF 1873-S in one of my BST posts. Check it out

    When all it takes is a quick cursory look it is a bad counterfeit! ;)

    it appears to be a unique coin, not previously known, of type I/II for 1873.

    an employee of the mint took a type 2 reverse die from 1878 on a trip inside a time machine back to 1873, where you now have this coin produced.

    That's a bit harsh. If everyone was held to that standard there would be nothing but crickets here. :p
