Sheldon Overton Baby Valued Member United States 179 Posts	Posted 05/12/2019 1:15 pm I was given a mountain of pictures of random coins in this guy's collection he got from his dad and inside there was this coin. I had to obviously sit here and zoom in and severely crop pictures. I don't want to tip my hat off about the coin nor do I want to get his hopes up as the entire collection would probably need to be bought to do a deal. Very limiting but from what you can see does it look "right"? Report this Post to the Staff

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4468 Posts	Posted 05/12/2019 6:01 pm There were 3 reverses used on the 71cc and the mint mark appears correct for one of the dies. The last 1 in the date has a strange base, The wear appears normal. If I was going to make a deal to buy this rare coin, it would be contingent on being graded genuine by TPG.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/12/2019 7:03 pm I'd still like to start with large, full-size pics of each side that show the true color of this coin. We need to determine if this is genuine and then a grade as well. Edited by Coinfrog 05/12/2019 7:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Still In Circ Valued Member United States 152 Posts	Posted 05/12/2019 7:15 pm It does appear genuine to the pictures however the color is important for us to officially determine its authenticity Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5663 Posts	Posted 05/12/2019 7:45 pm If these are the only pictures you have available, I don't see any red flags. But it sounds like a gamble if you can't inspect it properly. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/12/2019 8:03 pm Without two full-size pics of both sides, in exactly the same color, this coin cannot be evaluated properly. Report this Post to the Staff
Heymikep Pillar of the Community United States 824 Posts	Posted 05/12/2019 8:29 pm I agree with better pictures needed but what I can see it matches either WB-1 or WB-3 die marriage. There is actually 5 different reverses for the 1871 CC half dollar and a total of 7 different die marriages. I would agree that it does look authentic but better pictures to confirm.
