leveled New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 05/16/2011 12:52 am Hey guys, Correct me if I'm wrong, but is this a fake 1878 CC? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...TRK:MEWAX:IT I know it may be difficult to discern from the pictures, but I am questioning the differently shaped 8s and the left side of what is supposed to be the first four tail feathers on the reverse.

leveled New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 05/16/2011 09:56 am Thanks for the welcome and responses so far! I've been looking at a ton of slabbed 1878 CCs and never seen tail feather detail as poor as it is on the one in question. It was just sort of a red flag for me. Report this Post to the Staff
Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 05/16/2011 09:58 am Looks kosher. Might get an MS63. Pretty decent as far as hits etc. for a CC mint coin. Some hits in the face (worse place for them) but what can you do. Might of been dipped in the recent past. Maybe compare prices on a MS62 and see how that matches up with the bid.

mshev Valued Member United States 312 Posts	Posted 05/16/2011 3:18 pm I agree that it looks real, though also think that it has likely been dipped. Could just be the photos, but the luster looks a bit flat. Report this Post to the Staff
