If genuine search says 2-5 thousand dollars in vf condition but something doesn't look right about it but I'm no expert maybe someone else can help with that.
First, welcome to the neighborhood! The coin doesn't look right to me, either, but I can't enlarge your images. Can you post better close-ups without using the "Full Image" option? Chris
What is the story behind this coin? Where did you get it? How much did you pay? If you bought it on EBay for a song, it is fake. If it is from your grandfather's estate and you know nothing about coins and are trying to sell it, it's fake. Hope it's real for your sake as it is a key date with only 100,000 produced.
Im gonna say fake. Even from those images i can tell the surfaces are very porous. Porous surfaces mean cast. Cast means fake.
One of the experts here will have to point out why this is fake or real. If it's fake, it's a good one. If it's real it's worth a lot more than @eric6794 quoted.
Welcome to Coin Talk @superrcoinn BTW. There are some real experts that frequent this board that can give you a definitive answer to your question. This is a rare coin and a lot of people are skeptical when they see coins such as this especially if they have never been authenticated by a TPG such as PCGS or NGC.
The picture is a bit small and lacking in detail. However, on a quick glance as Evan said, the surfaces have an uneven bubbly texture. The high points around Liberty's ear are lacking in detail. The "TY" on the band is virtually nonexistent. Meanwhile, there is a noticeable lack of any hit marks suggesting these features might be wear. I feel pretty comfortable stating it's probably a fake.
the date is what is making me think fake it has that cast look to it, and @furham if this was genuine I think it would grade at around vf 35 and HA realized prices says around 5 grand. Im not a professional grader but using pcgs photo grade.
The idea that most every fake is "cast" is like our own version of fake news, and is something that really should be put to an end. One person says it, another reads it and repeats elsewhere, rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat. The 93-S was made with one obverse die, and two reverse. If an example does not match either, it's fake. The date position is often an easy tell, although in the case it's not too bad. However, the date itself is not what one would expect from a genuine example, and just happens to mimic many of the other counterfeits seen (including on this very board). Feel free to draw your own conclusions.
This is a real one from Coin Facts. As @BooksB4Coins stated there was only one obverse die used, so draw your own conclusions.
Crude fake imo, not really worth anything unless someone wanted it as a curiosity black cabinet type item.
is it was indeed real it would be worth 2000 to 3500. but it sure does look fake so im going to say it is worth .50 cents. sorry that I had to bring that to you
Some others may disagree, but the fact that a date like that has not been graded/slabbed puts a real cloud on authenticity.
