It looks a little fishy, but might be the pictures. The obv looks a little mushy and the dot seems a bit right of center. Dont have my books in front of me to compare. If real, congrats and cool.

http://www.saskatooncoinclub.ca/art...cent_rev.jpgHere is a nice photo of a real one. Your coin looks off, numbers are to wide, strike looks to weak. The only 3 known coins are all specimen strikes. Not to say yours isn't real, it just doesn't appear to me to be a match, with the know examples.

Silverwolf, l certInly agree with you in regards to it not being a match with that particular example (which l have seen and studied during research)...definitely thinner lettering etc,...however I'm referring to mine being an identical match with the other "thicker" specimen pictured above in my comment after initial post. Which cotrect me if I'm wrong is supposedly a photo of a Real, authentic Dot penny that was auctioned off,...l think for $275,000 I recall.
That specimen is definitely thicker date/lettering etc than the specimen in the photo you provided, and ldk it looks an exact match with mine. Also matching with the few pointers noticed and mentioned, I.e. the double crossbar in the first A on both coins, roughness near right maple leaf etc.
Not sure if you perhaps didnt read through my entire rant on it though I'm sorry,lol;
...again l do agree and understand that there are thinner dated/lettered specimens, apparently only One Thicker type (pictured above) as with mine.

For a chance at 300k just send it to PCGS for a 200 dollar investment, almost sure the dot cents were custom made for a specific collector by the mint master of the time.

Coinz222 here is a photo for you. this was a forgery sent in to be tested. I know a gentleman that works for the Royal Canadian Mint. he told me that. there is even coins that have been drilled. an melted copper poured in the holes to create a dot. believe me they check these very thoroughly. here is and image for you.  |

Your coin is a Chinese-made counterfeit.
There is no doubt whatsoever.
The main marker is the bridge of the nose on the obverse.
These coins are available for about $3 on the site which we cannot mention.
Lots of pics there for comparison.

100% fake. I immediately look to the exact same place as DBM, bridge of the nose is a great marker for this series on so many counterfeit coins.

If this coin was genuine, it would be worth close to $300,000. It seems odd that the OP has stated numerous times that people believed it to be fake but he still thinks it's real. Likely you know it's a fake unless you shelled out a quarter of a million dollars to acquire this. If that's the case, you should contact your local authorities, if not you have two options, cut it up or cut it up. Either one works!
