1877 IHC On The End Of A "Roll", Fake Or ?

End roll gambling never gets old for some. Especially when can claim that you found an 1877 in an unpicked roll. 1877 does look like the real deal.

The seller has 0 feedback? No thank you.
Coin appears genuine but besides the point.

With his account gone 'blank', the 1877 does look real though.

Type coin how can you tell the 1914 and 1915 are fakes? Just trying to learn how to distinguish counterfeits better. And you guys are awesome you have probably saved unsuspecting buyers millions of dollars by getting rid of the counterfeit coins.

I hate when people do that, once I saw a roll with a 1909 s on one end and a vdb on the other end and it sold for $480

1915 obverse:
If you look at the back of the Indian's neck, you will find toolmarks and a "lake effect." The lake effect is caused by a loss of relief during the die transfer process. As you can see, the gentle slope stops abruptly and does not continue to the edge of the headdress, unlike on a genuine coin.
I have circled numerous "depressions," which are the artefacts of contact marks that were put into the die during the die transfer process. These are discernable by having the same luster as the surrounding fields as it was struck that way. There is also no raised metal around the edges of the mark, which would be there if the mark was genuine.



Reverse of the 1915:
I have circles more depressions.



Obverse of 1914:
The toolmarks and the "lake effect" are present on this coin. The pictures are blurrier, so I can't make out the depressions as easily.

Fair enough. Someone asked what I saw, and I answered. All I know is that I would not bid on them as genuine coins.
