mrwisker Pillar of the Community United States 581 Posts	Posted 08/02/2010 12:52 pm I picked this one up today knowing it might be fake. The writing on the flip kind of gave it away. But for 6.00 I took s shot. (I've dropped more on less for a gamble) Report this Post to the Staff

Namachieli Pillar of the Community United States 2120 Posts	Posted 08/02/2010 1:08 pm Well if its real it was a good deal. What makes you think its fake, and what did the flip say, j/w? Report this Post to the Staff

bqcoins Valued Member United States 167 Posts	Posted 08/02/2010 4:13 pm What is the might be counterfeit based on. I see a coin with probably VF details with some scratches on the obv and some real bad rim dings that some look like environmental damage, additionally the color if accurate makes the coin appear as if it could have been buried in the ground for a while.

nod2003 Pillar of the Community United States 3294 Posts	Posted 08/02/2010 4:35 pm It is a common date for a Barber quarter. I don't think anyone would fake it, especially in damaged condition like this one. I would guess it to be a genuine VF or so common barber with scratches, graffiti and some beat up rims.

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 08/02/2010 4:43 pm Personally, I would never buy a coin in a flip that said "this might be counterfeit", but that's just me. With that said, the coin looks to have close to XF details imho (full wing feather lines on the reverse) but severely damaged. You could probably double your money with it on ebay if real.

TreasHunt Pillar of the Community United States 2540 Posts	Posted 08/02/2010 7:01 pm #1: Looks good #2: Better if a fake, worth more than a real one. If it is a contemporary fake, and since it isn't a key date. Edited by TreasHunt 08/02/2010 7:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
