commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12257 Posts	Posted 06/26/2022 4:35 pm Is there something specific about the coin that is making you think "counterfeit"? Is its weight correct? Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved. Edited by commems 06/26/2022 4:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95018 Posts	Posted 06/26/2022 9:25 pm I know absolutely nothing about this coin, so I'm interested in learning as to why you think it may be a fake.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/26/2022 9:31 pm C'mon, @ Adiw, what makes you think this is a fake? Report this Post to the Staff
Adiw Valued Member Israel 54 Posts	Posted 06/27/2022 03:07 am Mainly from past experience with the seller. Also the color of the coin makes me think that this is a modern minting. Report this Post to the Staff
jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 06/27/2022 10:10 am I would have no problem assuming this coin is genuine, I see no red flags. Counterfeits of these are seldom seen anyway. In regards to the toning, the columbian exposition half dollars strangely seem to get that terminal black toning quite often, more than any other series I've seen. So, dark toning on the columbian halves is extremely common. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5663 Posts	Posted 06/27/2022 10:26 am I also don't see any obvious problems. But I'd have to say, seeing that much detail on the sails and hair of an apparently circulated coin is pretty unusual. If you can get a weight, that would help. Report this Post to the Staff
Adiw Valued Member Israel 54 Posts	Posted 06/27/2022 11:15 am Thanks for the help. I haven't bought it yet, so no weight is available Report this Post to the Staff
