jessvc1 Pillar of the Community United States 2596 Posts	Posted 11/03/2011 7:31 pm I bought this coin and on the listing it said AU details corroded but it kind of looks funny do you see anything from the pictures that make this coin look off to you? The measurement and weight are good but the letters and color just dont seem right maybe its just the corrosion. Do they fake common Indian cents? Report this Post to the Staff
