Need Help! Authentic Or Fake? How Can I Tell?

One of the most common fake coins to pop up here annually.

@cdqguy, first welcome to CCF. Second, here is the tutorial for adding links: https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...ng-links.asp

I'm not a mod, but it sounds like you might be able to do this. Please start a new thread though.

Thank you for the quick reply. I had looked over those guidelines. Would have thought the preference for keeping topics organized would deem staying here, as the op's title is identical to my concern.

Yep a valid point. However, splitting similar questions into discrete threads lets CCF users quickly search for and examine threads for research purposes. Also, while I am still up here on my soapbox, having titles that describe the specific item are much more helpful than ones that only pose a question about that item.

From the CCF tutorial:




It may seem like a lot of busywork at first, but it really does help. Thx!

100% Counterfeit.
Besides what was reported by cdgguy on the obverse,
their are discrepancies on the reverse as well.
Have seen several of these on ebay where someone
is trying to sell them as genuine for a "bargain" price.

to the CCF!

Yes, this coin is HIGHLY counterfeited.

Thank you for your response!!
