This coin is a counterfeit. The clear date punch and mushy details is a giveaway. Take a look at STATES. The letters are thicker, different then a genuine coin.

Now I see that the date looks different than on a genuine piece, it throws the authenticity to more likely counterfeit, unless this a special Newcomb# which I am not too familiar with.

What about the two berries across from the T in cent. Where did they go? The berries should show up on F or VF example. The coin has a number of problems that make it a fake, and I am sure that you can find more. Get your money back. |

Maybe the specialists can weigh in on this.

I don't know where you're getting these images to compare but I'd recommend getting a free login at Heritage Archives, where you'll have 1000 authenticated examples of 1826 1c to examine. Or just go to PCGS https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin.../images/1144. Don't fixate on the date; look at everything else too. Look at STATES on yours - it looks like a cartoon compared to a real one. |

I was on PCGS coinfacts looking at the real deal and saw a few main differences of the OP as already mentioned.

Now this lower grade example looks like the real deal to me, gradewise a G-6 to me.

So is it safe to say one slid past Numismatic Student as genuine but was actually fake? Yes, yes it is safe to say  You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.

I knew it was a ringer as soon as I saw the date. That's why I asked how it had been acquired.
