Real or Fake $2.50 Indians

[Proudtoown]

I got these 2 Indians the other day and was wondering if they are fake? The zeros on the dates just look funny.

I can't get a good look at the coins from those images. But nothing that I can see makes me think counterfeit.

[PerryHall]

Can we get better pics without the plastic sleeves? Unless the slabs are fake or they have been tampered with, these coins should be real. The major grading services have a lot of experience in authentication this heavily counterfeited series.

[mkman123]

have you compared them with other ones of the same date?

[RWB]

ANACS, PCGS, and NGC were formed to authenticate coins. Grading was only incidental to establishing that the pieces were genuine and unaltered.

[Mozin]

Lose the plastic sleeves, and maybe we could get a better look at your coins. If PCGS graded your coins, I doubt very much that either of them is bogus.

[FishyOne]

Both of those are common dates with tens of thousands available. If the slabs are genuine, the coins are genuine.

 

What about the zeros looks strange?

[BillJones]

Unfortunately your pictures do not provide enough detail of the dates to answer your question. You might compare your coins with these pieces.

What do you mean by "look funny?"

[WoodenJefferson]

What ever you do, don't let StinkyCheese authenticate them!
