<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 469564, member: 13650&quot;]I was just flipping back and forth quickly between the one posted and the real one Doug posted and to me, the date sticks out like a sore thumb.&nbsp; The numbers aren&#039;t right on this.&nbsp;&nbsp; Flip back and forth between pics quickly, and compare the open areas in the bases of the 5&#039;s.&nbsp; Then compare the 8 on both coins.&nbsp; The 8 on the one posted appears to be very fat and the openings in the centers appear to be much smaller than on the real one Doug posted.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; The rim and the raised portion going by the F on Half, for being a coin in this good of condition, sends up major red flags.&nbsp; I&#039;d demand a refund and then I&#039;d destroy it so he can&#039;t sell it to somebody else.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I would say you&#039;re normally not going to find an 1855 coin, loose, that is still that shiny, that hasn&#039;t been at least recently dipped, if not fake.&nbsp; Sorry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
