westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9793 Posts	Posted 05/13/2019 7:46 pm Bad date logotype (as I thought) also a match to fake coins sold previously through the No-No site. Said it was an exact match. I sent them a link here so they could also see all the photos posted. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11898 Posts	Posted 05/13/2019 8:04 pm I was comparing the dates of slabbed 1868 2c's and it looks like the interior circles in the 8s and 6 appear elongated whereas the ones in this coin look round. NCG says that there are a lot of die pair varieties for this year, but doesn't say how many. Not looking good for this coin. Report this Post to the Staff

To me it was one of those coins that as soon as you see it you know it's fake. If they made the date not so cartoonish it would be hard to detect.

1993Z Valued Member United States 202 Posts	Posted 05/14/2019 3:25 pm These fake coins are getting better and better that's not good. This would have fooled me also. Looks like I am going to have to do more research to protect myself. Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9793 Posts	Posted 05/15/2019 6:08 pm I suspect it will only hurt the hobby more, it will take awhile before it ever get's better, I'm afraid. /see my ubiquitous tagline, it will end up saving us. More knowledgeable collectors = a brighter future for coin collecting. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

Jon Brand Pillar of the Community United States 1023 Posts	Posted 05/15/2019 8:55 pm Looking at the newer photos, the writing on the reverse looks very mushy and not sharp enough to be original, imo. I see its a fake but I noticed this before reading. Report this Post to the Staff
