I was looking to buy this coin. I realise this coin is genuine is worth $400+, it is currently a lot less that that.

Here is the link to the auction. 221775387134

Nothing grabs my attention to scream fake. But I am no expert on counterfeits

Looks good to me too with an old cleaning BUT I have a migraine right now and even writing this is making it worse so I cant check vamworld for far slanted date or mm but try that. They're is only a few vams for 1889cc go check for same date and unlevel mm. I'm sure one of the Daves will chime in though

I'm seeing it more as a VAM-3 than a VAM-5, but there's far too little data here to make any kind of decision. The coin appears to be in the F12 range, making its' value in a PCGS slab close to twice your estimate. I don't know if I'd risk that kind of money on this much info - the coin should hammer north of US$500.

The reserve was not met though. I think that was what put off most bidders.
