CGCoins Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 10/21/2015 2:30 pm I'm far from an expert, but it does not look right. The Edge looks off, the devices are too flat, the design seems REAL sharp. If that makes sense. Report this Post to the Staff
rynegold Valued Member United States 249 Posts	Posted 10/21/2015 3:13 pm Right: I thought the same thing. The rim looks suspect, the weight is off considerably, and the devices have virtually "squared off" tops... I don't think it's genuine but I promised to ask for my customer.

Bob Levi Valued Member Canada 488 Posts	Posted 10/21/2015 7:31 pm I'm no expert either but my thought was it looks sharp for its age. Report this Post to the Staff
Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 10/22/2015 01:26 am Doesn't look right. I take it you removed that black gunk from the reverse between pictures? My post count is my birthday- 729 = 7/29 = July 29th. Report this Post to the Staff
rynegold Valued Member United States 249 Posts	Posted 10/22/2015 12:26 pm Numisma... no not yet; it's a customer's coin. the weight of it is what pretty much to me anyway, says it's fake. Way underweight compared w/ my other pillar dollars. Report this Post to the Staff
CSOTUS Pillar of the Community 1153 Posts	Posted 10/23/2015 5:18 pm It doesn't look right to me, and if its significantly under weight, then that would seal it for me. Report this Post to the Staff
