Dearborn Moderator United States 95517 Posts	Posted 02/27/2021 9:38 pm The seller listed it as: United states of america 1796 Liberty gold Coin. Here is the link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/United-sta...363307172136 Ok now I know it is NOT gold, It looks like a 1796 Half Dime Draped Bust Small Eagle with nice toning Am I correct? Is it real or a fake? (if a fake, so what it only cost 5 bucks) But if it's real, did I get a good deal? only thing I can see is very small typed text on each side of the coin that says 'copy' but could the seller be just adding his own type of watermark on it? Please, your thoughts are welcome here. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19146 Posts	Posted 02/27/2021 9:49 pm Yup. It's a copy. Seller's other coin listings indicate copy as well. If you're comfortable obtaining copies of US coins (NOT the real thing), go for it. Report this Post to the Staff

I have no idea why you would think someone would watermark it with "copy" when they're selling a real one. Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff
