MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2004 Posts	Posted 05/29/2023 10:46 pm I'm suspicious of this for several reasons. I compared it to another genuine example and noticed some differences. The base of the numeral 1 should be closer to the numeral 8. The upper curve of the 6 appears to be narrower on this coin than the genuine example I am looking at. Then there appears to be varying sizes of the denticles on this coin that I don't see on the genuine. Then there is that disturbance in the field between the stars and the right arm of lady liberty, a grainy appearance to the obverse devices and possible a few pimples in the fields.

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 05/29/2023 11:02 pm It looks like a cast counterfeit. Grainy surfaces and lack of detail. I always check market value, if genuine, this piece is a better date worth $1,000 in AU50. I wouldn't touch it. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 05/29/2023 11:17 pm Cast counterfeit no doubt. Porous surface and wonky date numerals show the lack of quality casting.
