epikur Pillar of the Community Sweden 729 Posts	Posted 03/11/2012 3:07 pm Just got this coin, and hope I made a good deal. I don't have the best camera, but after a few tries I got some good pics. What do you guys grade it to? After comparing it to other Barber coins online I want it to be at least a VF-25. New at this but I love the chase of a gem online... Report this Post to the Staff

biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 03/11/2012 5:29 pm , epikur! Looks like au details with scratches. Unfortunately, the surface looks like sandpaper, which would make it a cast counterfeit. Sharper pix would help. I would have ANACS authenticate it. After all, what better place to sell a fake than in a country where they're not familiar with the coin? How much did you pay? Report this Post to the Staff
epikur Pillar of the Community Sweden 729 Posts	Posted 03/11/2012 5:53 pm Bummer if it's a counterfeit I'll take better pix during the week. didn't buy it from over seas though, so if a fake, I'm just one in the chain of fools of gullible swedes. Did buy it from a coin dealer here in sweden so I thought the coin was legit (still hoping thogh it is) didn't pay more than $40, so I thought I made a great find... will post more pix soon.

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9796 Posts	Posted 03/11/2012 7:24 pm Well it looks okay but I agree we need better photos, if it's rel that was a heck of a deal as it should sell for $250-400 in VF/EF. The roughness could be due to a cast fake or just rough handling. Or it could have been roughed up to hide the fact the date was altered from a more comon mintage. Have you weighed it out?
