I'd like to see more of the coin, but those aren't even close to AU breast feathers.............. low XF, perhaps VF-30 tops...

I didn't think that was anywhere near AU either, but someone seems to.

Notice, no close-ups of above the ear, which also looks very weak.

Thought you might be interested in what the Morgan RedBook has to say about these coins.

The majority of the known peices are in a single grade catagory of Very fine,, NOT G or VG notEF or AU but VF.

with this warning !

Absolutely and positively do not buy any 1893-S that has not been certified by a leading TPG and avoid like the plague offerings of uncertified coins "from an old estate" or "from my grandfathers collection" offered on the internet .

This coin has problems besides the condition.

Here is a picture of an authentic 1893S date and the date from the coin being auctioned. It appears to be a clear forgery to me. Also, there is supposed to be a small diagonal polishing mark above the T in LIBERTY which I do not see.

Take a look here for more info on forgeries of this date.

I just sent him the following email...

quote:
I hate to tell you but this coin is a well-known fake. The 1 on yours is centered on the 3rd denticle from the point of the bust. ALL authentic coins are centered on the fourth. It's very obvious.

We'll see what happens.
