HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25163 Posts	Posted 11/09/2025 7:20 pm This coin is up for auction, closing later this week. I have strong doubts about it but would like to hear the opinion of the learned experts here on the CCF.

Bidding was at $36 when I posted my query. It's up to $96 now, with 2 days remaining. I won't be in the fight for it. Perhaps it's genuine. But there appear to be casting bubbles on both sides, and the edge does not look milled to me. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

threefifty Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 11/10/2025 10:05 pm I bought a contemporary counterfeit one a few years ago as shown in the thread linked below. The counterfeits of the 1822 Guanajuato issue are relatively good in my opinion. My tentative thought is that this is an extremely beat up, worn, struck original, but I would have to do a specific gravity test to be sure. https://goccf.com/t/402464 Report this Post to the Staff
colonialjohn Pillar of the Community United States 1757 Posts	Posted 11/11/2025 3:23 pm Seems to match this GNL# 1822-O: D/R: Go JM-001. Take a look. Last "2" high. Tilting's of DEI match. Poor edge shot. Weight probably irrelevant but these later 1822 are a bit crude. Worth minimally $100 even if a GNL CCC8R. JPL. Edited by colonialjohn 11/11/2025 3:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25163 Posts	Posted 11/11/2025 5:00 pm Thank you all. Bids are at $145 (+ 20% buyer's premium) with 26 hours to go. I think that I'll let it pass. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7940 Posts	Posted 11/12/2025 08:09 am It's comforting to know that plenty of collectors will pay good money for coins with this kind of eye appeal (or lack thereof). ...since I am increasingly picking up worn and beat coins that cost plenty Report this Post to the Staff
