NumaNumaAT New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 12/13/2021 6:47 pm I've got someone offering these two coins in one deal @ $400. The 1885 CC looks like it has either PVC damage or cleaning/polish damage. Half of me wants to pay - the other half is telling me to run away from this mess. Says he will only sell them together for $400. Told myself I'd find a CC before xmas - but not one that's destroyed. Any info or expertise would be appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7648 Posts	Posted 12/14/2021 03:36 am The 85 is a screaming counterfeit. I'd stay away from them. Don't ruin your Christmas! Buy yourself a nice 82, 83 or 84 CC in the GSA package at a local shop or coin show. You'll be much more happy in the long run. Report this Post to the Staff
NumaNumaAT New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 12/14/2021 05:53 am CoinFrog - yes it is duplicate. Also only my third or fourth post. I posted yesterday in the morning and couldn't for the life of me find the original post when I came home from work. Sorry - wasn't trying to clog the room. The guy provides videos of the coins being weighed - touched with a magnet - and even what he calls a 'ping' test. Claims it was his grandfather's and he inherited them. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16873 Posts	Posted 12/14/2021 5:18 pm Quote: That 85 is fake, and likely the 91 as well That was my instinctive response as well. The 1885 looks like a mushy, cheap Chinese fake. The 1891 looks "better", but still close enough to the other fake that's it's definitely suffering from guilt by association. I think the yellow colour is coming from the coins being made of brass with a thin silver wash, and someone's tried to clean them and started polishing the silver layer away, showing the brass core underneath. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
