My other new purchase was a (real!) 1860 in AU (dealer noted as AU50, but I believe this deserves an AU55). This coin is absolutely beautiful with nice original toning and luster. Make your own observations of the real 1860 versus the fake one (made during the Civil War to pass as currency).

Nice coin. Comparing those two side by side it looks obviously fake. I think I'm going to be picking up an 3CS for myself after seeing your.

I can add a Counterfeit Comparison album to each coin as we come across them.

I love the idea of doing the Counterfeit Comparison section. I don't think I've seen that anywhere else on the Net yet. It's badly needed. The only problem is that you need plenty of examples. Hey, it's not not a bad thing that mine was the first to be added! Thanks. I think the way you set it up is perfect.

A counterfiet comparison section is a great idea. Thank you!
