Popular Post Greenstang Posted February 7 Popular Post Share Posted February 7 (edited) Yes, it is not even close to being genuine. Did you compare to a picture of a genuine coin?

Rc1804 Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 Kind of figured, was checking for my dad, he said a magnet didnt stick to it, so he is looking up his collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleRJO Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Not even close, starting with the date which is an easy comparison. Fake as a $2 bill ... wait, they exist ... fake as a $3 bill (okay, but they were "notes"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWB Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Yep. Fake. Open your Dad's copy of the Guide Book of U.S. coins and compare those photos with your fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henri Charriere Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I never fail to get a queasy feeling in the pit of my stomach when I see a question being asked about an instantly-recognized rare coin. Without scrolling, I consider the possibilities... How did you come about this coin? Inheritance? Bought? From whom? For how much? Where? (Hopefully not a street or local bar.) The very first thing any Newby should do is familiarize himself with the coin in question. The Red Book should be your first stop if the coin was minted in the U.S. Know what you have and what it's supposed to look like. Then step into the wild world of chat boards and gird yourself against some fairly opinionated, very direct, members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powermad5000 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Only took a glance to determine fake. As far as a magnet not sticking to it, I can only assume it is one commonly made from cheap cast metal as I see some of the lumps on the surfaces which is a telltale sign of typical cast metal coins, and that cast metal won't stick to a magnet.
