RW Julian Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Fake: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=130044123737 The counterfeiter used a fake 1787 TM piatak as the undertype to draw in possible bidders. Some of the other coins offered by this seller are suspect. RWJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Yea, bad example there. TM is an excessively rare 5k and an overstrike of that is much rarer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKB Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 gxseries, to my knowledge there are only 3 overstrikes of such type. All three are documented. No way in hell such a coin could appear on eBay. Moreover, not one of them is a TM overstrike. Thus, TM is a dead giveaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
