It would be a great black book addition.
I have to agree. It is to weird to not want.

The eagle feathers on the fake are amazing. They look like rows of cigars.

Would make a nice addition to my 'black' collection, but should fool no one, except a rank novice.

Hard to figure the upside on faking something like this.

Coinfrog, just ask Andrew99 what he paid for that and that might tell you why someone would want to fake it.

Andrew99: The face profile on Liberty looks a bit different to the example posted by Heymilkep.

I sure hope my suspicions are completely unfounded, and I am proved wrong.

So, Andrew99, where did you find it?

And was it in the range of a cheap used car, a decent used car, or a new Toyota Corolla?

Mine is J-235, so in silver rather than copper, in a PCGS PF-63 holder. I paid $2,175 from a dealer that does the show circuit. At the time I had a really poor camera. I may take some better photos.

nfine, He agreed to sell it to me for $10 but he never changed the auction or sent me an offer for me to accept. He vanished!
