Eghh talk about depressing. The seller was a local old gentleman who's in hospice care last I heard . So looks like I got shafted. Report this Post to the Staff

scstrawn Pillar of the Community United States 536 Posts	Posted 10/08/2020 07:33 am Feather change occurred in 1886, so it does seem fishy. (I'd say the older style pointed more to the C than the gap between I & C though.) Report this Post to the Staff
RedRaider Pillar of the Community United States 1018 Posts	Posted 10/08/2020 08:33 am Unfortunately, this coin is not genuine. The feather says it all, didnt happen in that position until 1886. This is a tough loss, because its not an inexpensive date. For some reason, 1871 IHCs are my favorite to collect, have way too many of them. I see the same fake on ebay every now and then and report them when I see them. Report this Post to the Staff
