Anyone else think it's fake? Face doesn't look right neither does the cc mint mark on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7617 Posts	Posted 05/06/2015 09:41 am Chinese fake with the typical artificial wear and toning to try and fool the bidiots on ebay. Apparently it's working as it is near 150$ with 10 bids. Report this Post to the Staff

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 05/06/2015 12:32 pm I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. I could only stand about 3 seconds of looking at that THING. I haven't read the replies yet but I hope nobody said its real or they didn't know. If the mm or rim didn't get you then the disproportionate eagle should stand out right away. But those C's are just this side of comical. Now excuse me while I go brush and gargle Report this Post to the Staff
