calinka New Member United Kingdom 28 Posts	Posted 01/16/2011 07:28 am I was looking at the date, the 1 and the 7 don't look right tome. What does anyone think? Thanks http://cgi.ebay.com/1887-USA-MORGAN...em4155e733c0 Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/16/2011 09:42 am It does look a little funny. More importantly, the coin has been cleaned, and is not worth a whole lot more than the current bid, even if real. I'd pass this one by. Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 01/16/2011 10:02 am Looks like it was harshly cleaned, smoked to conceal the damage, and then rubbed after the smoking. Definitely avoid this one! Report this Post to the Staff
calinka New Member United Kingdom 28 Posts	Posted 01/16/2011 10:21 am Thanks, apart from the suspiciously shaped looking date, the coin looks 'treated', I did not notice that until you both pointed it out. Report this Post to the Staff

calinka New Member United Kingdom 28 Posts	Posted 01/16/2011 12:10 pm I could be wrong but I think the bottom _ of 1 is arched instead of straight, the first eight is slanted to the left and the seven is too short at the top. Just my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
aladinslamp Pillar of the Community United States 3076 Posts	Posted 01/16/2011 1:25 pm It's a copy/countefiet...the date is the first point of interest, on my 42 inch screen all the lettering is not as it should be, and the reverse as well... Report this Post to the Staff
