billjones Pillar of the Community United States 1499 Posts	Posted 04/04/2016 09:53 am My vote would be cast copy. I don't think that it is an electro because none of the gray metal is showing though, and because of the edge. There is such a thing as a drop-in electro that could have an edge, but I don't think that this piece is one of those. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 04/04/2016 10:05 am Seller says it came out of a PCGS slab, he gives a serial number, and says it sold at Heitage auctions, but I can't find a matching S-6 in the Heritage archives. Can someone look it up on PCGS's website and see what if they say what auction it was sod in. Report this Post to the Staff

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4469 Posts	Posted 04/04/2016 11:30 am PCGS does not show any auction for cert number 31574375. PCGS has the cert # as fine details damaged. Somehow the coin got better after being cracked out as seller notes coin grade as VF++. Edited by Slider23 04/04/2016 11:33 am Report this Post to the Staff

billjones Pillar of the Community United States 1499 Posts	Posted 04/05/2016 4:32 pm It seems to have the same earmarks has the coin sold by Heritage, the color is now brown, not dark brown to black. If it is the same, why has it been cracked out of the holder? For a coin like this certified authenticity is a huge plus. Edited by billjones 04/05/2016 4:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 04/25/2016 11:44 am Quote: My rule of thumb on any coin this old and/or valuable is to assume it's fake unless it has been professionally graded and slabbed (and even then I might want to get a second opinion). There's really just no excuse for a coin like this to be offered for sale raw. Why not spend a few dollars to make thousands? Report this Post to the Staff
