    Interesting location for the eye. Lots of blobs, including the goiter on the eagle.

    Super cool piece. Definitely a counterfeit, but looks to be contemporary. They are very collectible and usually go for around $50.

    I'd actually bid on it for $20 to pull out of my pocket every now and then while looking for exact change at the checkout.

    I actually have no idea if it's real.....was just curious as it was sitting at around $15-19 for days.

    1. The beak on the eagle is way too long

    2. The N in UNUM is reversed

    3. The dentils are irregular

    4 Big blob or air bubble under beak

    5. Curvature on top of right wrong is wrong

    This looks like a very poor China Mint product
    made by a process other then a die and press.

    I would say the 1827 is PHONY!

    Some of those early (contemporary counterfeits) fakes are worth more than their genuine counterparts.

    (The 1794 looks authentic.)

    Looks like bogie 3C. My guess is it will go for hundreds of dollars.

    That's a rhetorical question...right? If not, then...yes, it is a counterfeit.

    Mozin, you are correct. I was wondering when someone would pop in with a Davignon attribution. According to Keith's reference: "Only 1 German silver piece seen. Rare." The counterfeit in the auction is not the plate coin in Davignon, and, if a "real contemporary counterfeit," is much nicer than the plate coin. However, in this day and age, we have to wonder if this is a modern counterfeit of a contemporary counterfeit. That cannot be determined from photos. All 1827 bogus bust halves are challenging. It is a tough date, with only one example of each of the 5 or 6 varieties known to the author when he published his work in 1996 (first edition).

    What is funny is that if the person lists it as a counterfeit it will alert those bogus CBH collectors and it will probably go for more money!

    Well, hopefully not hundreds...but, if the auction is allowed to run its course I know for a fact that it will go for more than it is currently bid. image


    Edit to add:
    Of course, now that the ebay police on this forum are involved it will probably be canceled.image
