thusdayclub Valued Member Poland 263 Posts	Posted 03/20/2013 5:18 pm Hello. Please tell me - in your opinion this coin is genuine? I only know diameter 38mm and thickness - about 2mm. Can you say something looking at the pictures? I have one day to give answer. Please help:) http://imageshack.us/photo/my-image...2126451.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-image...9104680.jpg/ Report this Post to the Staff

chesterb Pillar of the Community United States 1261 Posts	Posted 03/20/2013 5:22 pm This one looks very questionable. I do not believe it's genuine. The details are too washed out and inconsistent. Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 03/20/2013 5:31 pm I am also leaning to it not looking right. The weakness in the shield area down to the rim .. but then the date very strong .. makes me think something is wrong with the coin. I would want a magnet test and weight ..

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 03/20/2013 5:32 pm Unfortunately, I am very confident it is no good. Rim is wonky, details are mushy, surfaces look a little grainy, and the head almost looks concave. Report this Post to the Staff
thusdayclub Valued Member Poland 263 Posts	Posted 03/20/2013 5:45 pm The coin is slightly crushed, maybe because there are some imperfections. In my opinion star on the left side they look weird. I do not really know what to do, I can buy this coin for $ 30. Report this Post to the Staff
jgettings00 Valued Member United States 149 Posts	Posted 03/20/2013 6:07 pm It looks pretty fake to me. I'll have to agree with everyone else, definitely do not buy. Unless that was a typo, a pricetag of $30 should be a huge red flag. If it were real it would be worth hundreds. Trust us, stay away. Report this Post to the Staff

NathanASE Pillar of the Community United States 1511 Posts	Posted 03/20/2013 8:09 pm unfortonitly I'd have to agree with staying clear of this one... Unless you want a counterfeit for your collection for $30... As mentioned the $30 price and rushed time frame are red flags.. Especially in the Internet era everyone (well, not "every", but the majority) looks up rough values online... Heck, lol, I go to yard/tag sales and when I ask how much for an item, the sellers more often than not respond with- "well online there going for..." So ya, just the fact that the person is asking $30 seems off... Were it real they could get 5x that at a coin shop.. Report this Post to the Staff
