Same old question : original or counterfeit ( as much as you can see in these photos ).

 

If original, would it go AU?

 

Thanks !

My immediate gut reaction is "fake".

 

But the images leave much to be desired.

Something doesn't quite look right on the reverse (the wreath area & the mint mark)

I would say counterfeit , but better pics would definitely help determine it's authenticity

[MunkyMan95]

My gut says fake as well.

Looks bad.

 

It looks like the best of the fakes I saw at the FUN show in January.

It has that cast look and the outline of Morgan's face looks a bit off, the cheek looks really strange etc....

 

Edited: Here is one from the Heritage archive in a similar grade:

 

Heritage Coin

 

OP Coin

 

Heritage Coin

Interesting, that is an ICG slab variety that I have never seen before. I'd like to see some others of that variety but at the moment I would suspect the authenticity of the slab. In fact I would almost certainly say the slab is a fake.

 

I take it back, after doing some searching I have found several more of all different coins and values so it probably is real. this must be something released since the ANACS/ICG shake up.

It was sold by Heritage, if the slab is fake is the comparison coin I put up also a fake? Might be worth noting this to Heritage.

Mike, that is a new slab format that ICG is using. I've cataloged a number of them lately.
