kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 01/19/2023 1:30 pm Possibly the mint mark was removed and then the fake die was made from it, clearly a counterfeit to my eyes. The reverse denticles around Dollar are ridiculous, among many other things. Report this Post to the Staff
Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4472 Posts	Posted 01/19/2023 2:54 pm The coin is a fake. Note the neck feathers come all the down to the eagle's shoulder much like a type 2 Trade dollar. As noted above the denticles are crude on the fake. The type 1 reverse on the 1875 is extremely rare and everyone that I have seen has square rims much like a proof. Genuine type 1 reverse 1875 AU50 PCGS: Fake Report this Post to the Staff
