<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iGradeMS70, post: 1413679, member: 29109&quot;]Your coin appears to be a contemporary counterfeit, or a counterfeit that circulated during the time this series of coinage was actually being produced. They are very collectable, and many are extremely valuable... But let&#039;s jump to any conclusions about your coin quite yet. </p><p><br /></p><p>It appears that Rick Irons - a well-known Bust Half enthusiast, respected dealer, and also happens to be the co-author of a respected contemporary counterfeit attribution guide, -has a &#039;38 C.C. CBH listed, although it doesn&#039;t appear to be exactly the same as yours. But, then again, circulation may be the cause for the slight difference in appearance. </p><p><br /></p><p>My knowledge on these is limited. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the source: <a href="http://www.busthalf.com/ccCBH_for_Sale.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.busthalf.com/ccCBH_for_Sale.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.busthalf.com/ccCBH_for_Sale.html</a> </p><p>$95 he&#039;s lookin&#039; for on the similar 1838. Not half bad, eh? </p><p><br /></p><p>If you don&#039;t mind me asking, what&#039;d you pay for your coin? </p><p><br /></p><p>-Brian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
