    Best I can do with seller pics. Wondering if anything stands out that might suggest a counterfeit. Thanks folks. @Paddy54 1 shield nickel.jpg 1 shield nickel 2.jpg

    The obverse die breaks give it an air of legitimacy.

    Thanks folks. I missed out on this one, but the seller has been suspect in the past. First, the prices were just too good to be true for the offered coins and one I posted here was suspect right off. Here is another that I am wary off with a link. Free: 1824 Large Cent Used, Matron Coronet, Excellent Highlights Nice Date, Refundable, Free Insurance - Coins - Listia.com Auctions for Free Stuff Especially notice the description. This seller has never added anything about the provenance being suspect in the past but is doing so now. The pricing is in points, not dollars but current pricing would be nearly equal to the dollar and in this case would be $6.30.

    To give you a laugh, I found this in the bottom of a box and not sure when or why I came into possession of it...

    I found one similar metal detecting decades ago. At least I saved it from mother nature.
