Matthew23 Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 02/17/2023 8:32 pm I know the other one looks counterfeit but why do you think this one does? Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 02/17/2023 8:33 pm I'm wondering about authenticity of the OP's coin. Lettering on UNITED seems too thick. A in STATES appears doubled along the right edge. Liberty's earlobe doesn't look right. The wreath also looks off; that center acorn on the left side stands out as weird. If this cent is genuine the price does seem attractively low. Report this Post to the Staff
52Raymo Pillar of the Community United States 8516 Posts	Posted 02/17/2023 8:37 pm Has an overall mushy look. Expand the pic and look at the date. Pretty sure it's fake. Even if it isn't, it's been harshly cleaned. This is a ten foot pole coin. Both of em. Oregon coin geek.....* GO BEAVS ! ! ! * Report this Post to the Staff
Matthew23 Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 02/17/2023 8:40 pm I'm not buying after it was mentioned that it could be fake Report this Post to the Staff
Matthew23 Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 02/17/2023 8:42 pm Sorry I guess I just don't know much about fake Indian Head cents or cleaned ones. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 02/17/2023 10:18 pm I don't think it's a fake, but rather an XF cent that has been cleaned and expertly recolored to look new. Report this Post to the Staff
kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 02/17/2023 10:33 pm I'm in the fake camp, just from comparing images. Where's the ribbon end where it joins the Liberty band? The serifs on all the letters look fat and indistinct. Etc. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36745 Posts	Posted 02/19/2023 2:58 pm Looks like a Chinese fake to me. Report this Post to the Staff
