T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 11/11/2019 11:26 am Just noticed the obverse denticles look off . Report this Post to the Staff
numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11914 Posts	Posted 11/11/2019 11:35 am It does look like the coin has the shallow N which was only used in 1864-1870 and 1877. Will try to do some sleuthing. Report this Post to the Staff
Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7098 Posts	Posted 11/11/2019 12:36 pm First thing to catch my eye was the spacing between the denticles. Just made it look off to me right away... Report this Post to the Staff
GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1852 Posts	Posted 11/11/2019 2:56 pm To be frank, I do not like the look of that coin. Many features look poorly defined, and the surfaces pebbly and rough. The numerals in the date also do not look correct. Report this Post to the Staff
GMS5 Pillar of the Community Canada 1532 Posts	Posted 11/11/2019 3:36 pm looks as if it was in the ground at some point and then cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36903 Posts	Posted 11/11/2019 3:42 pm A PCGS coin for comparison. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36903 Posts	Posted 11/11/2019 3:52 pm These are photos of a known counterfeit. Look at the "N's" on the reverse. https://indianvarieties.com/counter...-eagle-cent/ Edited by IndianGoldEagle 11/11/2019 4:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 11/11/2019 4:01 pm Nice one - The Shallow N is the tell. It's a counterfeit, period. Report this Post to the Staff
BGLI Valued Member United States 231 Posts	Posted 11/11/2019 4:43 pm This post supports my premise that I should only be buying slabbed coins until I learn more about grading raw coins. Always concerned about counterfeit and altered or cleaned coins. This forum is really helpful Report this Post to the Staff
joecoin Pillar of the Community United States 789 Posts	Posted 11/11/2019 4:52 pm That is one rude coin. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36903 Posts	Posted 11/11/2019 5:01 pm It probably came off of China's version of Am azon. Report this Post to the Staff
