Not sure if it’s a trick question/counterfiet because it’s @burfle23 but if not, the coin actually looks really nice to me !

I would definately have been fooled, thanks for sharing and making me aware
Mr_Spud
Look at the eye!
Smitten with DBLCs.
Do you think this one is more recently struck or has just been floating around for a while unnoticed? I have wondered if they retire the transfer dies after a set amount are made or if they keep them to use again for future strikings.
I think past struck; the group doing them is known, reported to Secret Service and all seller names removed from the bay several years ago. I believe these are floating around; when I see it in-hand and get the cert number we should be able to see when it was slabbed...
Wow, if one did not look closely at this auction, I feel many might miss its diagnostics. The holder is amazing to me, with no knowledge of anacs holder diagnostics, if known.
Please message me the sellers name, if you would.

I'd have been duped! I don't specialize in Half Cents... thus, I'd have been more reliant on the TPG to catch a fake.
Thanks for sharing!!

It will be interesting when you get the slab what the cert number on the reverse reveals
are we sure anacs didn't get fooled too?
I believe they did; these are extremely deceptive counterfeits...
This is the 2nd one.
there is someone from anacs on the forum
perhaps they need to know
@CaptHenway would probably know who
@COYNGUY Would you care to comment?

OK, coming out of the Bay woodwork now...

Are they all overstruck on genuine coins? Or only some or few? Recall you showed at least one large cent with overstruck stars of a different type still detectable.

The 1796 large cent was proven to be struck over a cull large cent. The 1806 half cents (4 of them) were tested and had large amounts of zinc in them, possibly from an odd melting pot...
Looks very nice. CF? Let’s have Anacs weigh in curious what they would say.

the below means ebay nuked the listing, which it did
Nuked listing images; seller stated he is taking it to his "coin store" for verification:
Not only ANACS. As far as i recall ALL of the top TPG"s have certified these as genuine. Excluding CACG because they are new to the scene and these counterfeits go back well over 10 years.

I have not seen this counterfeit in either a PCGS or an ICG slab. I agree with the 10 year time frame but one passed a TPG recently, and once I have this ANACS example in hand and see the cert # I will see when it was certified.
I understand the ANACS example was certified this past summer...
Even as a known contemporary counterfeit- it has collector interest and value, no?
someone from the higher reaches in anacs is on the forum, but i can't recall the name
this is the second one you posted here?
A contemporary counterfeit may have collector interest and value, but that is not what this is.
A contemporary counterfeit is made and intended to circulate around the time of mint issuance. This counterfeit was made in the last 20 years purely to fool collectors.
Yes, this is the 2nd one I have posted over the years here in an ANACS slab as genuine. They are aware of both...
Would have me fooled..
