bgreco New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 07/05/2018 3:08 pm Hi, My mom bought this coin for me for $20 at an estate sale. I don't think the image quality here does it justice, but it looks great. Any idea what the worth would be or the best way to find a buyer? Thanks, Report this Post to the Staff

bgreco New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 07/05/2018 3:21 pm I'm not ruling that out, but what makes you think so? Report this Post to the Staff

bgreco New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 07/05/2018 3:32 pm Yeah, I'm zoomed in to a screenshot of a picture so the quality may be lost here. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21596 Posts	Posted 07/05/2018 3:38 pm It's a reproduction. Date is wrong and MM in wrong position. There were only 5000 1891CC minted. If it was genuine, it would be worth in the tens of thousands. There is one for sale now graded AU58 for around $55,000. Report this Post to the Staff

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4469 Posts	Posted 07/05/2018 7:17 pm The coin appears to be a counterfeit, but some of the gold counterfeits were made from 90% gold. You should weigh the coin if the weight is correct, then have it tested for gold content. Report this Post to the Staff
smalldawg59 Valued Member United States 484 Posts	Posted 07/06/2018 2:29 pm Uhmmmm....more than likely fake. I can see from the pictures the surfaces are grainy and rough. The obverse rims look to have leftover metal indicating a cast counterfeit to me. And a double set of denticles there too. But for $20, great. Report this Post to the Staff
