Once look counterfeit. It looks like a 1921 obverse with the low relief.

Absolutely a fake. Do not even consider purchasing.

Looks like a cast fake struck to look worn. Doesn't look much like a real 1889-CC in that grade.

An obvious fake. In addition to the missing ear, the nose and the date placement are just wrong, and E Pluribus is in the wrong typeface.

The fake patina just screams of a Chinese forgery too.

Now this one was screaming fake to me also on first glance, hence the dull grey color, and devices look unnatural, and just to be sure, check on vamworld.com to learn what the genuine vams are and compare to any known specimen.

Made of the finest quality Chinesium, and 100% non-authentic, straight from the no-no site.
