GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 10/14/2016 11:27 am This came into a LCS yesterday. I was not there, but they sent me a couple pictures, asking me my opinion. They did not buy it, but customer might come back. Did not stick to a magnet. Weighs 26 grams. I know most of the ones we see are fake, this one they weren't sure. They did not take a reverse pic ...but curious if anyone sees something. Report this Post to the Staff

TypeCoin971793 Pillar of the Community United States 6370 Posts	Posted 10/14/2016 11:50 am I say fake. The rims and the edge look very wrong. Here are some edge shots of fakes I own: Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 10/14/2016 12:13 pm How thick (rim width) is it? It looks too thick with odd lettering but images can be tricky. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 10/14/2016 3:31 pm I have a 1799 dollar, and I looked at a LOT of them before I purchased one, in a PCGS holder for safety. I saw a number of fakes that looked like what you are showing with the very weak details and lack of sharp outlines on any of the elements of the design. Too, the denticles do not look right as they do not appear consistent at all. The stars are also missing any sharp definition above the fields. If I had to bet, it would not be by putting my money into this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 10/14/2016 3:58 pm Than you for your replies. I did not get to see the coin in hand, and could not say anything on the thickness. From the pictures the edge details bothered me. The LCS did not buy it, but there was talk of bring it back on their next trip. So far everyone that has seen it is leaning to it being fake.
