    Need help in confirming this coin is a fake. Reverse arrows have no arrow heads and eagles eye looks odd to say the least. Coin is also not IMG_1551.JPG flat and has a yellowish color to it. Just want to make sure its a fabrication.

    Thanks for the help!

    It's downright comical, truth be told. Compare this one to what the arrows should look like on a 1799:

    I thought as much but just wanted to be sure. The eye is funky as well. Thanks for the input though.

    If you've already acquired it, and wish to continue posting online, you will have every chance to wear it out posting it in humor. It's the gift capable of continuing to give. :)

    Welcome to CT. It's the worse "fabrication" as you put it, that I've ever seen. I'm still LOL. No offense meant. I'm laughing at the coin?, not you. :)

    Even I could tell it was a fake upon seeing it. I'm not no expert by far ...

    I would actually pay a $2.35 for that coin if it was offered to me simply as payment for making me laugh. That is $2.35 more than it is actually worth.
