CoinEnthusiast Valued Member United States 388 Posts	Posted 03/28/2023 9:21 pm These are not my photos, but I'm curious to hear everyone's thoughts on what this coin would grade out at if it were sent to PCGS/NGC. Report this Post to the Staff

jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2545 Posts	Posted 03/28/2023 10:16 pm This coin almost looks fake if it is real the color of the coin suggests it's been cleaned down to fresh copper. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 78157 Posts	Posted 03/28/2023 10:38 pm Terrible pics, no surface detail visible, agree it looks questionable in these images. Report this Post to the Staff
kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 2989 Posts	Posted 03/29/2023 01:33 am Gosh, my first thought was "that's one of the worst fakes I've ever seen." This is supposed to be a 219 year old coin, right? It looks like copper plated junk to me. Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 10333 Posts	Posted 03/29/2023 02:29 am It's attempting to be an 1804 C-6, Manley state 11.0 (LDS) The obverse gets close but looks a bit off. If it's authentic, then it's been polished, heavily tooled, smoothed and plated, and is seriously low on the eye appeal scale no matter what grade you put on it.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 20937 Posts	Posted 03/29/2023 05:00 am I am thinking modern Chinese fake. I am surprised that no attempt has been made to artificially patinate it. Ground burial would have been the easiest way. Report this Post to the Staff
jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 2886 Posts	Posted 03/29/2023 10:04 am not thinking this could straight grade. Looks like all the patina has been stripped off by dipping. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 14489 Posts	Posted 03/29/2023 10:49 am looks like a C6 variety if authentic someone stripped this down and removed every bit of the original surfaces and all we are seeing is the copper.
