[QUOTE="Malleus Maleficarum, post: 4642402, member: 113425"]For me, just looking at Liberty would prevent from investigating this coin. She just doesn't look right. Looking at the coin the 1877 looks bad. The fonts are not right. The 8 almost looks like the maker of this fake took a chisel to manipulate the 8 in an attempt to make it look better. If you compare the 7's to the real deal, they're not even close. Not a very convincing fake if you take a few minutes to compare it to a real coin. Want to check out a den of fakes on Etsy? They're being sold as real. A lot of really bad Trade Dollars being sold by that thief. [URL]https://www.etsy.com/shop/CoinCreed?ref=l2-about-shopname[/URL][/QUOTE]
