ellu25 Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Hi!I came across this coin at a flea market. Most likely a fake. I'd like to know what are the signs that give it away as a fake and, if fake, what would be its value?Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikaros Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Easiest way would be to compare it against a reliable resource, and looking at the image available on the NGC site for this particular coin, the most obvious differences (to my eye anyway) are the position of the date, and the ribbons in Liberty's hair -- and just a general sort of not looking right, but that's not really something easily quantified. As for its value, I wouldn't even hazard a guess. If it's actually silver, it will at least have some bullion value. Beyond that, I defer to the many here who know more than I.

ccg Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Almost certainly base metal so value would be nil. I don't have much to add to ikaro's comments, but basically every scrutinizable detail is "off" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
