I bought it today on ebay, I think for a very nice price if it's real... But I'm somewhat sceptic if it's real or not?

Pleas help establish if it's real, and if so what would be the Grade / Value?!

Grade:-1-Cent,-1852---USA-Real-Or-Fake?

Looking forward to hear if I made a Good Buy or a Bad Bust

Looks genuine to me. XF-45 $65 The color could be due to incorrect white balance setting on camera.

I see no reason to believe it's fake; little incentive exists to do that. The weak denticles are characteristic of the series. Rim ding at 10:00 obverse, brightly-lit photos preclude the ability to give opinions about cleaning. VF35, maybe, about a US$40 coin if the surfaces are original.

These are collected by variety, and my skills do not include the ability to name the variety or relative rarity(value).

Appears genuine.
Yeah, XF40-45
Surfaces look original from photos but as stated, hard to give a definite answer without coin in hand.

Nice, so I should quickly pay the man his $20! And maybe I can even double it later on for an upgrade or some silver

ebay, gotta love it and hate it at the same time

Took some better pictures, is it still worthy at least XF40?
Always worried about the sellers pictures... you can make 10 pictures of 1 coin and all can look different, it hurts sometimes

Second set of photos shows a much improved surface color. I would agree with XF40. Nice pick for $20.00! Someone mentioned in another thread that coppers were being overlooked by everyone buying silver recently. This would be a case in point.
