Mister Kairu Pillar of the Community United States 1911 Posts	Posted 02/07/2016 2:57 pm 172083436411 The color of the coin just looks wrong. Does anyone else agree or does it seem legit? I am trying to get better and the color just sent a red flag. Thanks! Edited by Mister Kairu 02/07/2016 3:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff

thq Pillar of the Community United States 3351 Posts	Posted 02/07/2016 3:16 pm It looks like someone used a scouring pad on it. It's only $99 but I wouldn't take a chance on it without a weight. If it was 26.0-26.5 grams I wouldn't write it off. It's a cheap hole filler. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime." Fred Astaire Report this Post to the Staff
Mister Kairu Pillar of the Community United States 1911 Posts	Posted 02/07/2016 3:18 pm That was my thoughts if it was real. The seller does offer returns and I am going to have to not be too picky if I ever want to get those two holes filled ( Seated dollars). Will see... Thanks for the opinion!

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 02/07/2016 3:57 pm Fake is a generous term for that thing. It looks bad - real, real, real bad. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
Mister Kairu Pillar of the Community United States 1911 Posts	Posted 02/07/2016 4:58 pm Yeah thought so. I didn't go on it. Was a little tempting at the price and the fact the seller takes returns. So is it the color or what parts of it show that it isn't real? Thanks all! Report this Post to the Staff
MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 02/07/2016 5:43 pm For me, the color, mushy appearance and the eagle's right wing (viewer's left) missing. I also see a dot right of the 9 in the date and the rim crack on the reverse at the period in the denomination looks like a casting sprue. Compare it to this well worn genuine specimen http://coins.ha.com/itm/seated-doll...tion-071515# Report this Post to the Staff
