scstrawn Pillar of the Community United States 536 Posts	Posted 07/01/2017 10:40 am Looks real, but it's so beat up, I would have passed, even at $15. Melt value would be about $10. (The 1856Do is a bit less common, but not much premium in this condition.) Report this Post to the Staff
realeswatcher Pillar of the Community United States 1962 Posts	Posted 07/01/2017 5:11 pm Known style contemporary counterfeit... impossible "mint"/assayer. Can be a bit more forgiving of condition with CCs vs. genuine because of their nature... but the condition here is beyond that point. Report this Post to the Staff
