Jethro4635 Valued Member United States 93 Posts	Posted 08/07/2023 09:33 am I bought this year's ago at an estate sale..took to local coin shop for trade...he said it's fake..Label is wrong. Never checked it because it looked right and was stabbed but label doesn't match NGC site. Report this Post to the Staff

Jethro4635 Valued Member United States 93 Posts	Posted 08/07/2023 11:32 am Good eye Dearborn..that's what made him suspect it and looked it up..he said labels are always perfect. Report this Post to the Staff
DanFielding Valued Member United States 233 Posts	Posted 08/07/2023 12:29 pm Now, does that mean the label is fake (which the concensus here is that it is) or is the coin fake? Report this Post to the Staff
bobby131313 Forum Dad United States 24150 Posts	Posted 08/07/2023 12:59 pm The entire thing is fake. Slab, label, coin... everything. They've been doing this for many years. Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff
Jethro4635 Valued Member United States 93 Posts	Posted 08/07/2023 1:26 pm I'm assuming the whole thing is fake..I could break it out weigh it and get it tested..if it wasn't fake why do it? Report this Post to the Staff
bobby131313 Forum Dad United States 24150 Posts	Posted 08/07/2023 2:00 pm The coin is 100% fake too. Just look at the top of the 6 in relation to the rays. Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95360 Posts	Posted 08/07/2023 2:08 pm yep, the whole date is in the wrong position too. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 2220 Posts	Posted 08/07/2023 2:38 pm Sorry you got taken. Those who did the estate sale may have thought it was legit. A lesson for us all. Edited by livingwater 08/07/2023 2:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95360 Posts	Posted 08/07/2023 2:40 pm Or was it really an "Estate Sale"? Who was representing the sale of the Estate? Collecting since 1972.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95360 Posts	Posted 08/07/2023 3:39 pm ok, Thanks - I have seen many so-called estate sales that were just an ebay ploy to get items sold off. I am sorry that you got a bad item, Is there a chance that you can contact the sellers? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 2220 Posts	Posted 08/07/2023 5:00 pm The father-in-law of a coworker was a well to do rancher. When he died they found twelve gold coins in his safe. I saw them, classic USA gold. They don't know where he got them, no records kept, but two coin shops confirmed they were all fake.
