sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 11/13/2020 8:36 pm Weight would help to confirm, either way. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 11/13/2020 8:40 pm The "6" in the date logo is completely wrong. Fake. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
imaimee New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 11/13/2020 9:00 pm This coin was found in a rental house taped under the sink in a small purse. I apologize for posting only one of the three coins found there. I assumed one would be sufficient to ascertain legitimacy, but maybe all posting three would help. Here are the other two. I would assume if one is fake they all are. Maybe a prank? Thanks again for any help. Truly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 11/14/2020 12:59 am I'm on the fake boat. That 57 is atrocious, no offense. Report this Post to the Staff
kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 11/14/2020 02:23 am The 2500 FE cents minted were all proofs, and they're $10k in VF. So you've got $20k taped under a sink, and that's enough for me. Sorry. Report this Post to the Staff
suipakpaikungfu Pillar of the Community United States 992 Posts	Posted 11/14/2020 1:26 pm Way fake. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 11/14/2020 1:53 pm Try seeing if they stick to a magnet. Try weighing them if possible. However, based on that 57, I'd say all fakes. Report this Post to the Staff

EarlyTurban Valued Member United States 383 Posts	Posted 11/23/2020 06:53 am Welcome newcomer. That's a very interesting story on the coins, although people will hide things in the strangest places. About the coins - one really doesn't need to look at the design or lettering on these examples. Just look at the dates - all wrong - the font, formation and sizing - all unlike any genuine Flying Eagle cent. Sorry, but none of them are genuine.
