Message:: [QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 4594280, member: 101855"]That's not much of a picture upon which to base plunking down $500. The word "steal" is relative. I once owned a Chain AMERI. that was a bit better than this. it was my first Chain Cent. I sold it when I bought another that turned out to be a counterfeit. The bad piece came from a well known dealer. This was many years ago. What I'm saying is that counterfeits were made of these coins back when some of the books said were there few counterfeits of large cents. Now there are many of them. When you get to put some "wear" and "damage" on a piece, and sell it, you can hide alot of sins. That's one of the ways that counterfeiters have been able to get counterfeit coins into genuine PCGS and NGC holders.[/QUOTE]
