Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 08/16/2017 10:10 pm I saw this on ebay just minutes before the auction ended. The coin sold for $169. It sure looks fake to me. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1915-panama...p=true&rt=nc The seller also had this 1893 Morgan. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1893-morgan...AOSw6RFZi8Di Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12265 Posts	Posted 08/17/2017 1:33 pm I agree with the other assessments that this one is a fake. The most immediate giveaway for me was the thickness of the lettering on the obverse and the amateurish engraving of the facial details - it looks almost clownish.
