mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 04/21/2012 3:39 pm Hi, I also picked up this 1827 Coronet Large Cent at the same yard sale that I picked up an 1867 Shield nickel. I feel pretty confident that this one is a fake but wanted to read what the other members also feel. thanks, mdpmedia Report this Post to the Staff

Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 04/21/2012 4:42 pm The date looks all wrong, IMO. Here's a couple of 1827 LCs for comparison: 1827 Large Cents Edited by Moe145 04/21/2012 4:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff

COMET Valued Member United States 223 Posts	Posted 04/21/2012 5:30 pm I'm not that experienced with large copper cents but the edge doesn't look right. The rim doesn't look even from 3 to 6 o clock on the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
SteveCaruso Pillar of the Community United States 1796 Posts	Posted 04/21/2012 6:49 pm Aye, date looks a bit anemic compared to the rest of the strike (specifically the thickness of the 1; that's completely off). I'd say your hunch is correct. Report this Post to the Staff

Scropper CCF Sponsor United States 702 Posts	Posted 04/22/2012 12:58 am Interesting, it's actually overweight. I'm guessing that's a pretty good indicator. Also, the berries on your reverse in some cases aren't berries, but rather just stems. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 04/22/2012 12:59 am 10.89 grams is the correct weight. Yours is too heavy by .42 I'd say contemporary counterfeit but those are in most cases lighter. swcoin.ecrater.com Edited by vermontensium 04/22/2012 01:04 am Report this Post to the Staff
