tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7958 Posts	Posted 04/23/2021 07:22 am As @spruett said, here is an image of the real deal (same date) https://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotv...5a27728b8b76 From the look of the surface, first guess is a replica that is plated, but as @ oriole says, a weight measurement can help rule that in or out.

jfransch Pillar of the Community United States 1801 Posts	Posted 04/25/2021 4:37 pm It is a counterfeit (fake). You can look it up on Daniel Sedwick's site where he has a large list of Fake Cobs. (Look under modern pirates on his website) This one is known as FC53663. Been around ebay for years, popping up now and then with a new seller each time. Where did you acquire the coin?

realeswatcher Pillar of the Community United States 1962 Posts	Posted 04/25/2021 4:48 pm Was about to reply and jfransch beat me to it! What he said, except that this isn't nearly faithful enough to the originals to be considered a "fake". Really just a tribute replica, one that should only fool an extreme novice.
