edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 10/31/2018 5:54 pm Yeah, I wonder if it said copy on the obverse and was altered. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15446 Posts	Posted 10/31/2018 6:17 pm I have zero expertise on the series ... but that is an obvious cast coin example. Concur - counterfeit and move on without being taken for a fool. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Dorado Bedrock of the Community Canada 24885 Posts	Posted 10/31/2018 6:27 pm Very obvious! Quote: It's fake. Here's what a legitimate example would look like. http://www.PCGScoinfacts.com/coin/detail/305 UPDATE: It has come to my attention that this coin is probably a replica. Please bid accordingly and keep that in mind. I have no idea if it is the real deal. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 11/01/2018 5:03 pm Yes, but he did it to himself, the winning bids were placed after the seller updated the listing to indicate that it was probably a replica. And to make matters worse he had the high bid but it was less than the reserve so he bid twice more to get over the reserve amount. Report this Post to the Staff
lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1657 Posts	Posted 11/01/2018 5:19 pm I just can't comprehend anyone willing to spend that much money on something they obviously know nothing about. Report this Post to the Staff
