    My opinion? I was super excited when I read off center Indian. It fizzled a little when I read cent. Lol. Cool coin!

    My opinion is that it's not genuine. If it was it be very cool, however I believe that this has been casted.

    If that's real... wow! Not only a great error coin, but a better date, too!

    However, as mentioned, the "pimples" on her face might be evidence of casting, which is highly suspicious.

    Without the bumps, properly certified as genuine, this would've been a terrific coin, though!

    I called one like this real a while back and was told I was wrong. Heck, I think this one is real as well.

    I said last time around that this was a fake because of the pimples and the way the devices are sinking into the fields. I'm no expert, though.

    It looks like it was struck using counterfeit dies. The Planchet looks like it was probably authentic but the dies to strike it are not.

    It's a counterfeit. The reverse fooled me completely, but the raised casting dots on the obverse were the giveaway. Thought this would be fun and informative. I bought it, then returned it. The seller told me he was going to submit it and verify that it was a fake, but I never heard back from him.

    I owned it for about a day. Till I confirmed on Coin Chat what I suspected. Fake.

    It looks funny to me. Someone said it might be casted. As sharp and detailed Liberty is, you would think the diamonds in the ribbon and hair curls would be more defined, if real. Pictures do not always do justice in my old eyes. I could be wrong.
