burfle23 Pillar of the Community United States 517 Posts	Posted 05/12/2018 1:02 pm Images of my example of counterfeit 1805 "C-4" Half Cent courtesy NGC: This particular "coin" goes back to the fall of 2015 when many of us became aware of these recent deceptive struck counterfeits. This is obviously a long term problem, as a "new" example surfaced at EAC '18 in Michigan last week and matched my example in marks, surfaces and coloration! Coin Week published my long-term research article on this one at https://coinweek.com/counterfeits/s...ution-guide/ Best, Jack. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 05/12/2018 1:12 pm An interesting article Jack and thanks for posting. That dot by the E really pops and makes this an obvious diagnostic. I bought my '05 Half Cent about a decade before the timeline starts on this particular counterfeit (and I have the stemless variety), but I still checked just to make sure that it has none of the markers.
