westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7621 Posts	Posted 05/06/2019 11:24 pm Looks altered/counterfeit to me. Full pictures of both sides of the coin under better lighting might help. The current pictures are too bright and reflective. Welcome to the Community! Report this Post to the Staff
cadams0421 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 05/06/2019 11:39 pm That was my first thought as well. So I weighed it and measured it which both checked out. Here are full pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 05/06/2019 11:44 pm I'm not an expert on this series, but OP might have a real one here. The rims look a bit suspect though. Edited by jimbucks 05/06/2019 11:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7621 Posts	Posted 05/06/2019 11:58 pm Still don't think it looks right. Can't see the urination stream below the Buffalo and the rear leg looks too strong. I think it's a die struck counterfeit of probable Chinese origins. If you think it's real then send it in for TPG.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 05/07/2019 08:33 am This is a fake as has been pointed out the rear leg is way too strong and the "urine stream" is missing (they did get the distant e Pluribus unum right) And the genuine coins have heavy die flowlines on the back of the indians neck, forehead, temple etc which are missing on this coin as well.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/07/2019 08:48 am Definitely a one-look fake. The rear leg should be moth-eaten and faint, as shown. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
