<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NSP, post: 2974302, member: 74849&quot;]I’m having trouble seeing anything that jumps out as “fake” also. I guess the obverse appears a bit weak, but that could be a result of less than optimal pictures. Honestly the biggest red flag (to me at least) is the fact that it’s being sold by a foreign seller. </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin on eBay appears to be (or is counterfeited off of) 5-E based on the mintmark position and orientation. </p><p><a href="http://www.seateddimevarieties.com/Briggs/1888s.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.seateddimevarieties.com/Briggs/1888s.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.seateddimevarieties.com/Briggs/1888s.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Also, if you compare the spacing of the numerals in the date, it’s pretty apparent that the eBay coin and the Aliexpress coin are not the same. Obviously there’s still a good chance it’s counterfeit but if it is it’s a pretty darn good counterfeit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
