<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 1610885, member: 37839&quot;]Could be either.&nbsp; I was one of the first to say that the mint mark looked fake and crude.&nbsp; I still say given the lack of any kind of natural luster, even for a circulated coin (counterfeits have that dull gray deadness to them), I lean towards fake.&nbsp; The &quot;CC&quot; either way isn&#039;t real--either it is a 1889 that was repunched (less likely), or a fake 89CC.&nbsp; So, at least the OP probably knows he doesn&#039;t have an &quot;instant rarity.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; Also, the detailing of the stars and letters are rather crude as I did say previously, but got jumped on by nay sayers.&nbsp; The Chinese do excellent work on their &quot;high-line&quot; fakes.&nbsp;&nbsp; Either way, the coin is not worth slabbing, as the expense would exceed the value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
