numismatic biz Valued Member United Kingdom 152 Posts	Posted 04/01/2013 06:11 am What makes you think its a fake, it does look a bit mushy, and seller sold a 1865 cent same grade etc.. a while back. I dont think this seller would not notice the L so maybe a come on Also seller has other items up that look pucker to me, so maybe throwing in a fake now and then ? Seller states based in USA but seller shop has Chinese characters yours michael Report this Post to the Staff
upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 04/01/2013 08:34 am The first thing that screams fake is what supgog mentioned, the 'L' on the ribbon. Without looking into the fonts etc., the color is all wrong for a 'white' Cent also. I'm almost sure there was no pointed bust in '62 either. Report this Post to the Staff

Drsandman2 Pillar of the Community United States 1374 Posts	Posted 04/04/2013 12:10 am What is interesting is that a member of the Flyin' Club requested a picture of the obverse. After going through my cache, only the reverse image is left. ebay must have removed or switched the picture of the obverse in my cache when I revisited the listing. HUMMM? If anyone happened to save the image of the obverse, please send me a PM or post here. I should note that the seller had some Chinese characters on his profile.
