lenver Valued Member Canada 121 Posts	Posted 07/21/2016 10:18 am Would like to hear opinions on whether this is real or fake. Not my coin so this is the only picture I have at present. Report this Post to the Staff

ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 07/21/2016 10:22 am I'd vote fake. The entire coin looks "off". Look at the stars, the date, and "LIBERTY" Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/21/2016 10:41 am 100% fake. LIBERTY is way too thick and mushy, the date font too small and thin. Report this Post to the Staff
lenver Valued Member Canada 121 Posts	Posted 07/21/2016 11:05 am Thanks, you all confirmed what I was thinking that it was a fake. I was especially concerned with the lettering in "LIBERTY". Report this Post to the Staff

Fathead 5 Valued Member United States 294 Posts	Posted 07/24/2016 3:45 pm It's most-assuredly an obvious fake, or a copy. It would be good to see the reverse, and see if the word "copy" is stamped anywhere. Report this Post to the Staff
lenver Valued Member Canada 121 Posts	Posted 07/24/2016 7:07 pm As I said it is not my coin so I cannot show you the reverse. This is for sale on kijiji along with a bunch of others that look to be fake and fantasy coins. Here is the link http://www.kijiji.ca/v-art-collecti...ionFlag=true The price obviously gives it away now but it was previously listed for offers when I fist made this post.
