http://www.ebay.com/itm/united-stat...70963396068&Is this real? When I saw the CC on the reverse I literally dropped my soda... <edit> I looked again and saw that they're in China. I'd bet all of their stuff is fake. They do say it's cupronickel. <edit> Edited by The Silver Searcher

Aha! So if anyone complains that it's not silver, they have a defense! Tricky little scammers...

Except as per ebay rules, it's a counterfeit and not legal. It'll be gone soon. |

Maybe I missed something but why did you drop your soda when seeing the CC mint mark?

I had been watching another from this seller, and when it went for almost $15 below melt (if it was silver.) I saw this one and checked it out. I was really surprised to see a CC mark because I expected a mediocre 1878, not one that I actually need for my collection.  |

It's not listed as a coin. Does this skirt the system?

"CC" really stands for "Chinese Copy"  |

He deserves it buying from China. April Fools just come early for him.

There are at least a few reputable sellers from China, but I prefer buying on ebay.com |
