Where would you grade this '85 Carson City?

Only concern with the coin besides the angle of photos is the hit on the breast is found on a lot of fakes, but other than that, where would you grade this puppy?

I’d grade it not worth the effort buying something like that.

He never does. He just likes to ask

Not genuine.

That’s the correct answer.

That’s the correct answer.

I think the correct answer is "in the privacy of my home".

Sorry if I’m being overly picky, but you mention a pick up point on the coin to give proof it’s fake and think we should grade the counterfeit? How do we do that?

I agree with you it’s fake.

I grade it as a flashing neon sign that says "RUN Forrest, Run!"

Blurry.

It always is the correct answer (or at a grading company) but I grew tired of making the same joke. I guess understanding the difference between where and what is too complex.

Photos are way too poor to even attempt to guess the grade, let alone determine authenticity but it looks a lot like the chinese counterfeits we often see on Ebay.

Davidk7 · July 23, 2023 6:36PM

Even with the blurry photos I am 100% confident it is a Chinese fake. The patina is a dead giveaway

Yes. Old joke. But @MFeld likes to (good-naturedly) correct my very very rare amiguities...

The pictures are so blurry it’s hard to determine anything. I think counterfeit would be the best guess. The centers look suspiciously weak.

The 1885-CC dollar is quite scarce in the circulated grades. I once had a want list for a set of circulated Morgan Dollars. The customer would not buy any Mint State pieces. The 1885-CC was the toughest since he could not afford an 1895-P.
