Heymikep Pillar of the Community United States 802 Posts	Posted 01/15/2024 12:04 pm Take a look at this 1875 Half Dollar. https://www.ebay.com/itm/204617615789 Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6270 Posts	Posted 01/15/2024 12:52 pm Not sure I would have picked this out as fake with a casual glance. Since you have ID'd it as a counterfeit, some features are standing out. The drapery lines across Liberty's gown aren't right and the eagle talons look particularly bogus. Date digits and legend letters are much better than typically seen on counterfeits. Low price and low seller feedback are two more warning flags. Thanks for posting this!

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 01/15/2024 1:00 pm Images for posterity. The reverse caught my eye as very cartoonish. All of their other listings are also fakes. Seller is coin-and-vintage https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ss...-and-vintage Hope they get whacked. Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 01/15/2024 1:50 pm There's no way to warn bidders on ebay. Seller appears to be located in Japan so I informed them that all their US coins are fake. We'll see if they respond. Report this Post to the Staff
burfle23 Pillar of the Community United States 501 Posts	Posted 01/15/2024 9:55 pm Details were terrible; looks like an AI coin to me... Coin was reported and removed; seller had others also removed including one of the bad "CC" rev Trade $'s. Report this Post to the Staff
