apcol258 Valued Member United States 202 Posts	Posted 05/20/2021 1:25 pm I don't see a ton of Three Cent Nickel counterfeits. When I do they are usually pretty obvious. This one seems well struck and even has the common clashes associated with the series. The reverse numeral is far too narrow though. Date appears wonky as well, but hard to see given the picture quality. Upon closer inspection a few raised lumps of metal can be seen as well. https://www.ebay.com/itm/184841611264 184841611264 Report this Post to the Staff

Ballyhoo Pillar of the Community United States 1613 Posts	Posted 05/23/2021 12:34 pm I concur with PNW, the wear from obverse to reverse is way off. The bow would be flat like the hair from forehead to curls. ANA member - PAN Member - BCCS Member There are no problems only solutions - the late, great John Lennon Report this Post to the Staff
