Message:: [QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 448227, member: 12965"]Here's a counterfeit (cast copy?) of a 1788 Massachusetts Cent: <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1788-MASSACHUSETTS-LARGE-CENT-COLONIAL-COIN_W0QQitemZ180302428132QQihZ008QQcategoryZ528QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1788-MASSACHUSETTS-LARGE-CENT-COLONIAL-COIN_W0QQitemZ180302428132QQihZ008QQcategoryZ528QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1788-MASSACHUSETTS-LARGE-CENT-COLONIAL-COIN_W0QQitemZ180302428132QQihZ008QQcategoryZ528QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem</a> I didn't like the "look" of it but I went ahead and checked it against all known varieties and even checked it against known contemporary counterfeits, and it doesn't match up to anything and if you know what these normallly look like, you'll see the eagle's head is "off" as is the rest of it.  :goofer: Ribbit  <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
