andrewjconners Valued Member United States 497 Posts	Posted 07/12/2011 8:31 pm Well if he says he's unsure if the coin is a replica or not and has a couple accurate pictures of HIS coin for sale, I say let people bid. Report this Post to the Staff
Waredu Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 07/12/2011 8:32 pm Aww, come on. That's not obvious casting - it's just a little environmental damage that only affected the flat surfaces. Report this Post to the Staff
wpd7 Valued Member United States 257 Posts	Posted 07/12/2011 8:38 pm Just like the sealed rolls, people are bidding on the hope of treasure.... Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 07/12/2011 8:54 pm Well, the seller covered himself stating he's not sure if it's real or not. BTW, colorful BS story. Now, YES, it's an obvious fake and the winning bidder will figure that out sooner or later. I find it so sad when newbies don't know any better...they think they do :( swcoin.ecrater.com Edited by vermontensium 07/12/2011 8:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
algol Valued Member United States 124 Posts	Posted 07/12/2011 8:59 pm I saw one of these brought into the shop I work at a few weeks ago. The people that brought it in were disappointed that it was counterfeit. People are trying to cash in on anything they think might have value. I blame it on the economy etc. Report this Post to the Staff

numismaniac Valued Member United States 361 Posts	Posted 07/12/2011 10:11 pm LOL. Maybe you should crack it out and send it to PCNGSCS for a ahot at a higher grade or perhaps a First Strike designation ! Report this Post to the Staff
representin7s New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 07/13/2011 01:59 am To me its an obvious replica, Its hard to believe he enticed people into bidding that thing up to over $125!! WTH! Thats not right! Report this Post to the Staff
EgCollector Pillar of the Community Egypt 3470 Posts	Posted 07/13/2011 05:47 am Its an obvious casting and even the one who did it is not very skillful he most probably placed short sprue former and that's why he got all these casting (solidification) porosity in the coin field Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 07/13/2011 2:32 pm Mine is a big time fake...lol! It was giving to me by an error dealer friend of mine. It is a foil sticker? glued onto an unknown token. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
junior e Pillar of the Community United States 931 Posts	Posted 07/13/2011 9:44 pm One of the coin mags had an article about a guy that is making reproductions and that is one that they showed. The reverse is a Ben Franklin design borrowed from continental currency that he designed. Report this Post to the Staff
