barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5841 Posts	Posted 09/23/2016 10:55 am Pics are a bit blurry. If it's a fake, it's certainly one of the better fakes I have seen. Compare with my 1799 dollar in similar condition: Expanded Digital U.S. Type Set Album \| Dansco 8100 (Lincon Cents) Album \| Digital Proof Type Set \| Digital U.S. Currency Type Set \| Foreign Bullion Coins Report this Post to the Staff

TypeCoin971793 Pillar of the Community United States 6370 Posts	Posted 09/23/2016 11:07 am Fake. The obverse has a wire rim, meaning that it was struck in a collar. Collars weren't used in the US until the 1830's Report this Post to the Staff

coinlover1899 Pillar of the Community United States 3058 Posts	Posted 09/23/2016 2:13 pm Date looks suspicious to me... I vote fake. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/23/2016 5:18 pm Looks like it was deliberately "slightly" disfigured as a deception. Agree fake, no way without papers. Report this Post to the Staff
dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 09/23/2016 5:35 pm fake the obverse relief has signs of a Chinese cast I have seen enough of. Report this Post to the Staff
coloradobryan New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 09/25/2016 2:55 pm It's fake. I have no doubts on this one. Report this Post to the Staff
Tryna Pillar of the Community United States 937 Posts	Posted 09/26/2016 11:56 am I suspected cast at first, but the obverse looks to have a die clash. Would that show on a cast soin? Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/26/2016 3:10 pm It could if the molds were made from a die clashed genuine coin. Likewise a cast con can show die cracks for the same reason. Die struck coins can show clashes and die cracks as well. (I've actually seen people say that a coin can't be a fake because it has a die crack on it. Even if it c=shows a crack that is KNOWN to come on a geniune oin the fact that your coin has that crack doesn't guarantee it is genuine. The fake die can be made from a genuine coin that had the crack and the fake die will have it as well.) Report this Post to the Staff
