Hello,

I decided to take a shot at this nickel I posted earlier

I say no-no site counterfeit. My gut it throwing up all over this one. Return it immediately!

Look at the denticle immediately to the lest of the foot of the 4. It does not connect to the rim.

Look at the raised lip on the upper rim on the reverse. Same on both coins.

Look at the weak star 1.

Note the low obverse relief. The upper part of Liberty's ear is gone.

Note the fuzzy reverse.


No doubt about it. These were struck from the same Chinese counterfeit dies.

Ugh. Hope you can send that thing back. The date alone should have given a warning. Not even the right font, let alone positioning.
Rest in Peace
