yooper Valued Member United States 226 Posts	Posted 04/02/2015 12:52 pm Is this real or fake? The date in the second image does not look right to me. Also, the first image and the second image don't seem to be of the same coin. Maybe it's just the angle of the photo. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1871-LIBERT...em2c9941fda6 Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/02/2015 1:53 pm Tough call. It looks wrong but I don't feel the evidence of the date is enough to get it pulled - the photography isn't clear enough. There may be a smoking gun with these I'm unaware of, though. Report this Post to the Staff

Mike1487 Pillar of the Community United States 709 Posts	Posted 04/02/2015 3:13 pm Fake with 100% certainty. Every one of his IHC auctions are fake. I've been following this guy for a few months, he changed his ebay ID recently as if he thought that would hide his identity. It is discouraging that every buyer leaves positive feedback and has no idea that they've been scammed. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 04/02/2015 3:39 pm I've owned several 1871-1872 IHC's. This is totally fake. The numerals are too tall and skinny. The Indian princess also looks clowny. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7618 Posts	Posted 04/02/2015 5:03 pm "Real" alright.....REAL fake! Any tougher coin on ebay that is not in a TPG holder is not in the holder for a reason. In this case, the reason is because it is counterfeit. Report this Post to the Staff
Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 04/02/2015 5:40 pm The "7" is what gives it away to me. The base of a real "7" balloons out as it travels down. The ebay one doesn't. Report this Post to the Staff
TypeCoin971793 Pillar of the Community United States 6370 Posts	Posted 04/02/2015 6:21 pm Definite fake. Here's a real one: Here's the same thing from AliExpress (note the overly enlongated flag of the first 1): Report this Post to the Staff

RK55 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 04/02/2015 9:32 pm I don't like the look of any of his coins including the ones he sold. Hard to believe no one has figured out what they got was fake. Report this Post to the Staff
garys64wildcat Pillar of the Community United States 593 Posts	Posted 04/03/2015 1:46 pm IHC are my favorite set and the High one don't look good, he also has 09S IHC listed up to $205 now and an 08S around $31. For being new he is cleaning up on fakes. He is just making my real coins go down in price. Sad Report this Post to the Staff
