Are any of us actually surprised?
It's a Chinese fake in China.

Quote: the words "QUAR. DOL.", comparison will tell you what you need to know. What do you see wrong with the "QUAR. DOL.". I'm really missing the difference here.

@burfle23 I think I will receive it tomorrow,I will open the box and take a clear picture of the edge and yeah that is Gongbo @NumismaticsFTW I wonder if they will make fake Half Dime one day...Let me check it out tomorrow.The dealer will refund if doesn't enter NGC box. @dsking Font is too thick or square, or the angle. This is the seller's picture. I will take a pic after receiving.

@eaglebub7 Maybe it's because of the shooting angle.Do you think it looks courser?

The font is just too thick and, the serif on all letters doesn't match up. Look closely at Hondo Boguss image. JMHO

Language barrier kicking in here. Are your latest images a different 1839? It appears to be...

This is a hard pass for me regardless.
This coin is scratched, cleaned and looks bent.

Sorry friends. I just saw your replies. @burfle23 I still have edge images in my phone Although I have negotiated with the seller to return this coin. The score is XF-02, but I didn't expect it to be cleaned so badly. The seller's picture also can't see a bunch of scratches on it. I think for a moment, even if it's genuine, there's no need to grade it.Thank you#65281; @eaglebub7 Hello!My last picture is the same one. @NumismaticsFTW As you said, this is quite different from the seller's picture. I have negotiated with the seller to return the coin.Thank you! And I found the diameter of this coin is a little bit smaller than that of the 1870s or 1850s. If you have an 1839 , you can compare them#65288;Though NGC said they are all 24.3mm#65289;
