Real or Fake? What is the value?

Straight forward question, is this real or fake? What would you value it at if it is real?
Thanks!

I'm by no means an expert, but comparing it to pictures that I found the crown looks slightly off and the wings look slightly off. But again, not an expert so I could be completely wrong.

 

Hi there, I manage social media for APMEX Inc. and we have folks who can help you get an estimate.

Maybe its just me, but this looks like a pretty obvious fake. Lettering font is completely off, the mint mark seems crudely placed, and the overall design seems quite mushy. Morgandude11 could help you out much more than I, but to me it appears to be fake. Does it stick to a magnet?

 

I say fake. Mint mark and date look terrible.

 

Someone is trying to sell it to me, so I don't know the answer to that. I think I agree that the date and mint mark look bad, I was hoping it was just because of the wear but I think I was just kidding myself. Any other opinions? Morgandude11 I would really like your opinion on this one! Thanks

 

Fake. Proportions look all wrong, and the lettering and date look quite crude. Pass on that one, as it is a good date, and often counterfeited. Buy only from a reputable dealer, or in a slab for CC dollars.

 

If you can kid yourself into this one, I have a bridge and some fantastic Florida swampland I'd like to sell to you too.

 

Thanks all! That's why I come here for help, it's quick and relatively painless

 

Update- This exact coin just sold in the Bay for $99.99! Guy was trying to sell it to me via email.

 

They overpaid... available for as little as $1.90 with free shipping:

Based on that coin, it's probably a fake.

 

I'd take the "probably" out of that statement.

 

Isn't this adverting?

 

I reported it as such.

 

I agree its a fake. particularly the "CC" doesn't convince. Here is an 1884CC.

 

was that rust?

 

CC looks bad...and the "toning." My value is $0.00. I would not buy.

Edit: Morgans aren't my area so me...I'd stay away from a CC unless it was slabbed and from a reputable dealer.

 

fake. and not even a good one at that.
