Wanna see a counterfeit $5 Ind in a slab?

Not even close of being a genuine coin!

Slab looks fake . Man I hate these Chinese counterfeiters . @Conder101 would know .

 

Man, if that's a fake then it's a darn good one. I can't see anything wrong with it other than what might be a casting bubble right below the leaf closest to the mint mark. Scary indeed.

 

What makes you so sure it is a fake?

 

I am not an expert in these, so would like to know as well.

 

I would be interested in knowing also ... ?

 

This is genuine, in my opinion.

 

my problem has been with eBay lately ... having reported several sellers , selling fake U.S. coins ...$19.99 for a trade dollar with free shipping really HOW CAN IT BE REAL ? two weeks later .. still selling them

 

I am still waiting on the OP to say why they think this is fake. Looks good to me, and I collect lots of gold.

 

same sellers now offering Morgan dollars for $14.98 .. sold over 40

 

I don't see a problem neither 100% positive Feedback on 1915 items

 

its not fake..
its a icg

 

We are all still waiting on why you think this is not even close to genuine, when it in fact is.

 

Boy, would I be pi$$ed if someone called a genuine coin I was selling on eBay a counterfeit on a public message board.

I'm all for outing fakes, but make sure you are right and can back up your claims before posting in public. Discuss with others in private first if you need to.

 

Hmm... If Ebay doesn't do anything about fake sales, perhaps I could find my fortune by going to Ebay and selling: "Authentic 1974 aluminum cent, only a few have ever been found! Low price of only $4,000! Hurry, only 300 available!"

I'm kidding of course. I'd never do something like that, but I'm sure there would be buyers out there somewhere.

 

Looks good to me. I can't tell if it is a fake.

 

I don't know about coin grading, but on an MS 62, wouldn't you be able to see details of the eyes? I see no eyes on the indian or the eagle of this coin. This picture shows details of the eyes on both sides:

 

How do you not see the eyes?

 

Still doesn't look right to me. Where is the eye on the indian? Looks as though someone ripped it out of it's socket. I'm not calling it fake and I'm not calling it real because I have no idea. I'm only doing a comparison.

If I were thinking of buying this coin I would pass it up after comparing the coin to the pcgs example. I might be losing out on a good deal, but then I feel it's better to err on the side of caution when it comes to something that valuable.

 

Anyone who makes such an accusation should at least try to explain/defend their position; unfortunately, too many of these threads end up mostly finger pointing and little fact.

With that said, it is only fair we wait until he signs back in to see if he will explain.
