Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 81509 Posts	Posted 05/29/2023 10:06 pm Looks good, I'll say EF-45. Report this Post to the Staff
Hondo Boguss Pillar of the Community United States 2969 Posts	Posted 05/29/2023 10:37 pm If you have it in hand, could you tell us the weight? Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 1148 Posts	Posted 05/29/2023 10:46 pm I'm suspicious of this for several reasons. I compared it to another genuine example and noticed some differences. The base of the numeral 1 should be closer to the numeral 8. The upper curve of the 6 appears to be narrower on this coin than the genuine example I am looking at. Then there appears to be varying sizes of the denticles on this coin that I don't see on the genuine. Then there is that disturbance in the field between the stars and the right arm of lady liberty, a grainy appearance to the obverse devices and possible a few pimples in the fields.

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10170 Posts	Posted 05/29/2023 11:02 pm It looks like a cast counterfeit. Grainy surfaces and lack of detail. I always check market value, if genuine, this piece is a better date worth $1,000 in AU50. I wouldn't touch it. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 2904 Posts	Posted 05/29/2023 11:17 pm Cast counterfeit no doubt. Porous surface and wonky date numerals show the lack of quality casting. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety? Click Here: http://goccf.com/t/434955 Shoot me a PM if you are looking to sell bust halves.

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 3398 Posts	Posted 05/29/2023 11:47 pm What @MisterT said and more. Look at the tops of the 8s - aren't they supposed to be round? [puke emoji] Edited by kbbpll 05/29/2023 11:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff

CoinEnthusiast Valued Member Topic Starter United States 426 Posts	Posted 05/30/2023 11:22 pm All right, I was leaning toward it being fake. Thanks for confirming my suspicions, everyone. Report this Post to the Staff
