Sounds like 3 catch phrases lumped together. Btw, if its a trime its not 90% silver......

 

Sorry I do not know how to get a link ? Guess I am too old !!

 

I found the auction he was talking about... That is one specific title lol, sadly it was wrong, it's not 90% but 75%

I think that the coin is worth around $500, I would bid at the price it is at.

 

Not as old as Doug!

 

Look at what he - or - she has sold, I bet they are fakes !!

 

Feedback: 5 negative/neutral only this year, wouldn't buy from him.

 

Coin is real but looks like somdamage at the lower part of obverse possibly slightly bent too as so many are. More then enough I'd say

 

Nah its bent

 

damaged, and I'm not convinced it's genuine.

 

Yes it is, or would be. When the Trime was first introduced in 1851 it was 750 fine, but in 1854 they increased the fineness to 900 fine. In the case of this one though it is a counterfeit (date is all wrong) and probably not silver.

 

Now that I look at the stars on the reverse, I agree, not genuine

 

They also have an 1811 half cent that looks counterfeit also ??

 

another 1863 that he sold:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1863-III-Ce...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

check out the date, shape, etc.

Also, not genuine

 

These are not contemporary counterfeits for sure, made in china maybe ?

 

sold for >500 dollars. shame. most likely a Chinese forgery, has that grainy, sort of burnt toast look to it.

 

Yes the 1811 half cent was fake as well.
