[QUOTE="Moekeever, post: 2774995, member: 76158"]I thought I would share photos of a 1793 chain cent and a 1793 strawberry leaf wreath cent. Both are very easy to determine they are fake. Weight of 10.5 grams each, plain edges and aged look to the coin make it very easy to determine they are not the real deal. The chain cent seems to be trying to portray an S-2. Nice try but they are getting better all the time. The strawberry leaf is a fantasy piece. It does not match either variety known. If they start making pieces that copy known dies, faking wear and put these in fake graded holders, someone is going to get hurt financially.
