CoinEnthusiast Valued Member United States 485 Posts	Posted 05/10/2023 11:38 pm Here's an 1870 Indian cent that came in a lot of Indian Head cents that I won recently. With that said, I am not certain that this coin is genuine. I wanted to get everyone else's thoughts. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinEnthusiast Valued Member United States 485 Posts	Posted 05/11/2023 12:58 am I don't have any references, but the date definitely looked off to me as well. The positioning seemed off and the 7 specifically didn't look right. Report this Post to the Staff

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 05/11/2023 08:59 am This looks fake too. Compare this to the 1868 you also posted. Same identical issues with the denticles in the exact same spot. Same obverse graininess and mushy details and the thin date and font is not right either. Report this Post to the Staff
