<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 484589, member: 13650&quot;]Good thread.&nbsp; Only you shouldn&#039;t have told us how many were fake.&nbsp; I&#039;m leary of the Barber only because of the raised edge on the rim at 7 o&#039;clock.&nbsp; Otherwise, I can&#039;t spot anything else and I know the Chinese are capable of making that.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I would have also said the CBH was fake because the 3 looks really fat and just doesn&#039;t look right.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;BTW David, keep in mind these old CBH&#039;s had features individually punched.&nbsp; With all the varieties there isn&#039;t likely to be many where characteristics match up exactly on real ones.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; The last one is probably real, only because you don&#039;t see many counterfeits where they go to the effort to try to duplicate a wear pattern and make the coin worth less.&nbsp;&nbsp; EF and above are much more likely to be counterfeit.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I&#039;ll go with the CBH being the fake.&nbsp; The wear pattern is just a little too odd.&nbsp; The Barber seems to have a normal wear pattern.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
