1914 Barber quarter a fake?

Quick question. I have heard a lot about Chinese counterfeits and fake US coins. How would I spot a fake?Does mine look like a counterfeit?

Yes, I have added my pictures.

 

I don't see anything jumping out that would make me think it's fake. it's also a very common date, which makes it less likely that someone would fake it. In that condition it's nothing special and worth a buck or two over melt in my opinion.

 

Doesn't look like a fake, just worn/circulated. Weigh it to be sure. Real ones are 6.25 grams.

 

Looks like a legit 1914 in F12 or F15 to me.

 

Less likely, but they are out there, $1.80 with free shipping.

 

It's just pathetic that we have to double check even common coins. What have we come to?

 

100% authentic.

 

It looks fine to me , the color and wear patterns are correct , the Chinese will fake any date but their artificial wear and color are usually way off . Have you weighed it . It should weigh 6.25 grams .

 

Thank you all for your help. You guys are quite knowledgeable! I am looking into getting some less common/scarce coins.

 

The 1914 quarter looks good to me.

Taxidermist, Chinese counterfeit posted is a 1914 half dollar which is not a common date coin in high grade.

 

Good coin, VG+.

Definitely not a F.

 

What would be a fair retail price for this quarter? Buck or 2 over melt would be $6.18 to 7.18. Seems kind of low to me. Anyone else have an opinion on this?

 

That is about what I have been paying for them.

I stand corrected and agree. I think it is a VG10
VG8 Very Good: Minimum of three letters in LIBERTY readable.
F12 Fine: LIBERTY completely readable but not sharp.

CraigsList, ask $10 and take $8 if they buy something else.

 

I would not pay more with the scratch across the face.

 

Yeap, missed its a half. Should have been a quarter:
