scottgotts Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Bought this on the bay from a north american dealer with 100 positive feedback. From what I can tell it looks real to me but i'm still pretty nervous. I'm going to use a silver tester machine that a friend owns on it first, then send it into NGC if it is indeed silver. What are your opinions on it? Its worn so it's hard to compare minor details to better graded coins. Looks like it has been cleaned to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgenn Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Sorry, I didn't see this when it was posted. I don't see any obvious issues but the wear has greatly reduced some of the design elements. Did you sent it to NGC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottgotts Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 It was 100 percent fake. I had it tested for silver and it was plated. Just to be sure I acid tested it and it was fake as they come. Very good counterfeit though. I got my money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgenn Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Good to hear that you got your money back. Between your first post and my response I happened to buy my first Hong Kong dollar which is why I was interested in yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgenn Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Check the NGC price guide, My cost was closer to VF than XF.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BipolarBaby Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) I was going to say, this coin doesn't appear right to me, doesn't looked cleaned but doesn't look like a coin should look from 1867.
