So is it safe to say one slid past Numismatic Student as genuine but was actually fake?

Yes, yes it is safe to say


Anyone who posts grades on CCF on a regular basis has most likely posted grades to a counterfeit. My radar went up that the coin may be a fake after I read the paralyse post about where the coin was obtained.

I just read through all the comments hoping that the most recent post to resurrect this would be showing it slabbed and getting a straight 'authentic' grade from PCGS or NGC thus throwing a real spanner in the works. Anyway, in this case, I'm sure it is a fake due to all the reasons mentioned, and if you compare it to authentic examples you can see why.

Stand by my opinion that it's 100% bogus as the day is long (and somewhere a dealer who needs more education cost themselves $140.)

I'm curious if you informed the coin shop that a bunch of people here told you it was fake.

I'm betting the owner was not well versed in early copper and just assumed it was legit. I hope you sold this to them before you knew it was a counterfeit otherwise shame on you for ripping them off . in fact whether you knew or not you need to go back to them and give them their money back.

For confirmation as to this being counterfeit, I posted the coin on another forum. Jack D. Young, Early American Coppers (EAC), says both the obverse and reverse are wrong for the date. He even had a couple of them in his collection he calls The Dark Side.

May the power of guilt compel you to return the coin shop owner's money!
