I think I see a P mintmark.

P for Peking

 

Looks fake to me

FAKE 100%

 

FAKE

Compare it with the real one, which is on the left:



Not give too many clues, but the "C. GOBRECHT F" is too big on the fake and the eagle has a new set of feathers. Some of the stars are also missing.

 

Looks like a pretty bad fake to me. Compare it to a genuine example: https://coins.ha.com/itm/gobrecht-d...1-4641.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515

 

Those folks making these will be in the cold, cold ground before they'll recognize Arkansas and Michigan.

 

There are probably known fakes with the die break on the shield.

 

Absolutely no doubt genuine made in Bejing.

 

Look at her thumb she must of been a thumb sucker.. as a child

 

I have read the vampires have odd looking fingers. She would definitely suck the life out of you bank account if you gave her the chance.

 

To an untrained eyes these could be very dangerous.

 

Real....really sure that coin is fake.

 

Friend of mine said it came from his Dad's estate. Thought I'd ask. I broke the news to him. At first he was still wanting to send it to PCGS just in case, but I think he's convinced now.

 

My two fake Gobrecht dollars. I suspect this to be an artificially worn example of one of these, almost certainly the first one. Look at the lines in the shield

 

Both of yours have all the reverse stars, though.
