Expensive coin unslabbed, no thank you you can keep your fake cast counterfeit. Remember, when in  always reject to avoid any  ing and  ing and  ing that might occur in the future. |

This was extremely well publicized when it was discovered. Having one survive that long in circulation going unnoticed would be extremely unlikely.

Hmm, look at the "D" in God. Looks like it's shifted in weird directions.

I bought a fake one on ebay years ago when they still let the Chinese sell them there. I wanted to study counterfeits to be able to lessen the chances of being fooled. This one looks to me like someone took one of the cast Chinese counterfeits and roughed it up a good deal in hopes of selling it. The porous nature of my cast one makes me think the "corrosion" on this ebay piece is not the only reason the pics show porosity. |

With a seller name like D-coy, I wouldn't be skeptical at all.  |

Who the heck buys such coins? Don't people do any research?

Don't people do any research? Not like you guys are setting much of an example with this knee-jerk thread. It is a disservice to numismatics to instantly fly off the handle like this in the face of insufficient evidence either way. Yeah, it may be fake. Maybe even "likely" to be fake. None of you are even willing to consider the possibility of it being authentic, which is as closed-minded as those who are bilked by fakes in the first place. Don't even get me started on the "if it isn't in a slab, it's not real" trope. Experts don't need slabs, and the best among us despise them. |
