Is Vicky True?

Here's a high-resolution picture of a genuine 1872-H obverse for comparision.
At first glance, I was curious about the lettering on VICTORIA, especially that T. Unless that's camera angle, it looks distorted.

what should I do , DV ? ask for my money back from the ebay person ,,got another 1870 from him as well I am not as sure about that one is fake,,or should I contact RCMP?

It is hard to tell from your pictures.. are you able to post larger clear pictures? Here is a picture of the obverse of a 1872H 50 cent coin that you can compare yours to (this was posted in this forum last year, it is an authentic coin.)

Is there a coin dealer by you that you can get his / her opinion?

hello Stoney....
may we ask what you actually paid for this coin and what the feedback of the seller is?
at first glance, your coins looks ok....but...only a "coin in hand" with an authentic coin next to it will tell for sure...

DVCollector, I think you are absolutely right when you say the picture is distorted. Here is his first picture and the T appears to be proper.

hi
I received a reply from the seller, he told me the coins are good, that some 72's do have the mouth open, and that these were certified b4, but removed from plastic to be put in books as many collectors do, he has also offered me to send them back to him, and he will send to ICCS,and if come back bad he will make good on them, he does have 100% feed back in a few thousand dealings.
I know that feed back is very important to dealers, who stick around , this is why I didn't leave negative feed back. I paid $165 and a wee bit more for the 1870 not alot of money,, but enough for me. the dealer held the one coin for me , waited for payment,,and he does seem one the up & up. But the mouth bothered me the most,, the T is good, I took the picture (learned here), by putting a 7.5 loupe up to the lens of my digital, that probally y the distortion.
I not sure what to do,,,not so sure it is up to him to pay or get them graded , buying coins raw is risky on grading and what to pay for them I think, being authentict is another story... I just wanted a couple of coins to sit out and let friends & family hold & look at them, guess at what they worth(maybe tell them worth more than what they actually are :) . Maybe I should just send them off, and if they come back okay everything good if not, I get my money back.
I just getting back into my coin collecting, didn't worry so much about fakes 30 years ago.. I have alot to learn.

Here is a good example of the paranoia (sp?) that counterfeit coins are causing in Numismatics. If the pictures are not clear enough to be certain...stay away....The information is available for every collector to educate themselves. If a deal sounds too good to be true....it probably is.........and just to add......I see nothing wrong with the images of the coin you posted.
