alan smith New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 07/04/2016 3:38 pm I wanted to know if it is possible to tell if this coin is a real one. After cleaning it, it has a silvery metallic finish. thanks, Alan Smith Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34401 Posts	Posted 07/04/2016 4:12 pm @alan, first welcome to CCF. Second, I'm going to ask the mods to move your post to the US classic coins area as that is the most appropriate spot to ask this question. Third, I'm highly concerned that you have a cast fake. edit [in fact, now that I look closely, the word "COPY" is on the reverse of your "coin". It is 100% fake. SOrry 'bout that.] "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Edited by Spence 07/04/2016 4:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff

alan smith New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 07/04/2016 8:09 pm Thanks. I never saw the word copy until now. It is a good thing I found this coin, and didn't buy it. Report this Post to the Staff
lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1657 Posts	Posted 07/05/2016 05:11 am In one respect it is a good thing it is a copy, and a good learning experience. With aggressive cleaning like that it would have really killed the value of the coin if it had been genuine. Report this Post to the Staff
