I would like some opinions on this coin in terms of authenticity and grade. Sorry about the poor quality of photos, but I did not take them and they are the best I could get.

This coin seems suspicious. I was comparing it to some that have sold on Heritage and the style of the mintmark does not seem to match the ones there.

Well usually most don't agree with me, but this is a poor copy. The letters are all wrong, shape and size.

The mint mark is wrong.

The face is wrong. The chin looks more like the chin on the 1921 Morgan.

I hope you did not pay much for it.

The CC does not look like an authentic mint mark.


Here's mine for comparison:

Too many differences.
Thanks Moe for your comparable example.

The chin looks really funky. Run away quickly. It looks more like Nabpolean than Miss Liberty.

With that chin, I think it's an image of Jay Leno's mom. Stay away from it.
