SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/22/2015 12:08 pm I am totally ambivalent, but based on the feature you mentioned and certain stuff with the denticles, I'm not liking the ebay coin. Nothing strong enough to act on, though, in my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7641 Posts	Posted 04/22/2015 12:32 pm If it were REALLY "choice brilliant uncirculated" don't you think the Seller would have had the coin TPG'd to max his return? Rare coins on ebay are not in TPG holders for a reason: 1) they usually have questionable authenticity and 2) they aren't near as nice as the Seller thinks they are. This coin currently on ebay falls into both categories. Report this Post to the Staff
usc96 Valued Member United States 291 Posts	Posted 04/25/2015 8:15 pm A little too red for my liking. My FEs are more on the yellowish bronze end of the spectrum, not that reddish copper look. Report this Post to the Staff

Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 04/25/2015 8:54 pm It's a fake. I was taken in by one of these a year ago. I sent it to NGC and got a "Not Genuine" flip back. The chip in the left side of the T in CENT is the giveaway. Here's the link to my post about the coin with a very unhappy ending. https://goccf.com/t/176962&SearchTe...g,Eagle,Cent Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff
