robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 06/28/2021 10:11 pm I figured this would be certified if it was genuine, but that aside, I feel like the scraped area under CENT would be where COPY would be on such a coin. Not interested in buying it, just wondering if it's actually real. https://www.ebay.com/itm/313579139445 Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 06/28/2021 10:29 pm For coins like that, I consider them fakes if they are not slabbed. Too much money involved to take a chance on a raw coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/28/2021 10:39 pm Agree. Looks plausible, but no way I'd give it a second look raw. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 06/29/2021 12:39 am Can't dismiss the possibility that it may be a Chinese die struck fake error. They have a reputation for producing fake errors. Needs much better expertise than mine to prove authentic. Independently provable provenance would help, not just someone's say-so. Your 'gut' feeling in not being interested in buying it, may? well have kept you safe. Report this Post to the Staff

silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3733 Posts	Posted 06/29/2021 06:18 am IT is against ebay POLICY to list a coin for more than 2,000$, if it is not certified, by one of the top TPG's.. Report this Post to the Staff
