[QUOTE="Jack D. Young, post: 8352866, member: 93371"]Seller responded to my note: "[SIZE=4][B]So assuming you are correct how would such a piece be treated by copper collectors. I just paid $340.00 for the coin a couple of days ago. Does this piece have any collector value? Thanks for the info. Larry[/B]". I responded: "[B]Thanks; I am correct. These are deceptive current counterfeits and would have wide collector value if contemporary; I am the only one in my network who willingly bought one after proven fake.[/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=4][SIZE=4][B] I would think you could return it to who sold it to you for a refund; unfortunately that puts another counterfeit out there- I am curious if you bought it from a dealer and who incorrectly attributed it? A friend and Colonial coin expert brought it to my attention noting the obverse didn't match the attribution and the reverse is 4C."[/B][/SIZE] The listing is still up...[/SIZE][/QUOTE]
