It's fake. Says he inherited this coin yet has more than 10 for sale. What an idiot seller. Can't even make a good story. |

It has been cleaned, not much doubt in that. On the reverse, you can see how the fields are a different color than at the IGWT. The obverse picture is a little blurry, but that may hide scratches from cleaning on Liberty's face and the field at her left. On the obverse, you can see the color difference also between the fields and the area around E.P.U. lettering

Ty Fuzzy. I was wondering if it was cleaned as well. Had a feeling it was too good to be true.

Listing has been removed. I was trying to VAM it...but it was just a little off. Only 6 VAM varieties for this coin and it didn't match any of them. So I agree it is a fake. |

Not only are THEY BACK - but he has dozens and dozens and dozens of 1895-O. The only date he's selling. Dozens. Removing just one doesn't faze him, I'm sure.
This guy needs a nuclear Bobby Bomb.

Thanks to our host these listings disappear fast. It might be useful for the OP (or others posting similar threads) to save and upload pics of the coin to the thread and possibly a screenshot of the fraudulent listing before it goes poof.

Yes, would you post a new link or the sellers name? I hope we can get all of them off!

Good advice Joe. This is the 1st counterfeit coin I found, and to be honest, I was thinking maybe it was cleaned or altered in some way I wasn't seeing. I wasn't expecting the counterfeit diagnoses....but do agree with it after taking another look last night. Will take screenshot next time.
