To the CCF You do realise the value of that coin if genuine. From what I can tell from the pictures supplied, it is fake but need larger, clearer pictures to confirm. |

Thank you so much for the welcomes, and I will try to post another pic after work. I really have an incredible collection as of lately. I've been flipping coins on ebay and got my store up to about $14K in just 3 months. I've been collecting all my life but just lately got a collection worth looking at. |

Much sharper images of both sides needed.  |

BTW, if you are going to be flipping for money, invest in a real camera that takes good pics. Garbage cell phone images aren't going to cut it.
Flip over to the numismatic photography section and look into one of Roy's $400 systems.

It does not look good. I'd still like to see the weight, diameter and sharp images but it appears to be a copy.

It's true we all need better photos to really tell. |

The crooked "dollar" is pretty amusing.

Something's definitely crooked.
