Jerry Picker Valued Member United States 483 Posts	Posted Yesterday 5:21 pm I've contacted the auction company. Sent them an image of an authentic one and they will not pull it. Currently $400 is bid on it. Link: https://hibid.com/lot/313157578/key...-well-struck Report this Post to the Staff

RedRaider Pillar of the Community United States 1022 Posts	Posted Today 54M ago Due to the position of the last feather, this appears to be an altered 1897. I don't think it's truly a counterfeit, just an altered coin meant to deceive novice collectors. The other digits in the date look good, my reasoning on an altered 1897. Report this Post to the Staff
