Double J Valued Member Canada 405 Posts	Posted 11/08/2023 07:52 am I'm not familiar with US coinage. Appreciate if someone could share some light if this real or fake. Report this Post to the Staff

burfle23 Pillar of the Community United States 502 Posts	Posted 11/08/2023 08:00 am Fake; wrong reverse (Type 1) for the date. I have documented several counterfeit CC Trade $'s with this reverse. Edited by burfle23 11/08/2023 08:16 am Report this Post to the Staff

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 1862 Posts	Posted 11/08/2023 12:31 pm Is that a fake slab too? the coin is a CC but the label says 1878S and no way it is even close to AU 55. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16345 Posts	Posted 11/08/2023 5:17 pm Both the OP's coin and the one in the fake slab have the "tarnish applied with a paintbrush" appearance typical of base-metal Chinese fakes. It probably weighs considerably less than a genuine Trade dollar. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
