CoinCollector2012 Pillar of the Community United States 8137 Posts	Posted 09/13/2014 6:58 pm Please try to get better pics. I can't give a grade as is, but I think it would get a details grade as Wheatchaser mentioned. Report this Post to the Staff

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7633 Posts	Posted 09/13/2014 7:47 pm It just doesn't look "right" to me. Very mushy looking. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36878 Posts	Posted 09/13/2014 8:00 pm I agree, I would be concerned that this one might not be authentic. Report this Post to the Staff
Mike1487 Pillar of the Community United States 709 Posts	Posted 09/14/2014 03:10 am I agree, seems a bit off. How about a clear shot of the mintmark? Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 09/14/2014 05:07 am Color, detail..my first impression before even scrolling down..Chinese fake. Just my opinion and I could be wrong. I have owned 5..1908-S IHC's and I base my experience on them. The periphery is too struck down with extra rim metal visible. 3rd pic, 11 O'clock is an indication. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
RedRaider Pillar of the Community United States 1021 Posts	Posted 09/14/2014 12:35 pm ebay is being flooded with fake Indian Head cents right now. Unfortunately, I think this is one of those chinese fakes. Show us a close pic of the reverse and mintmark. Report this Post to the Staff

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7633 Posts	Posted 09/18/2014 12:30 am I see extra metal in some of the lettering which leads me to believe the coin is a Chinese counterfeit. Report this Post to the Staff
