I could tell right away it was fake based on the Liberty's face and the golden coloring of the coin The dentacles or rim looks suspicious too In my opinion, most coins are easily distinguishable between counterfeit and authentic if you know what to look for by doing your research Comment from : misterTVman

Anyone here interested to buy my 1853 $1 liberty head gold coin? Can send photos Thanks Comment from : Coach N

I’ve messaged many sellers on eBay explaining their coins are fake I’d say 5/10 are receptive and the others hate to admit they’re wrong and got took They also don’t want to lose out on their purchase so they pass it off on the poor saps on eBay Dangerous place it can be Comment from : Andrew Selle

It seems like you do a lot of coin buying, so haven't you ever thought of investing in a Sigma Metalytics that way you could pretty much verify this kind of stuff as soon as you receive it, mind you it's not cheap by any means, I believe it's almost $800 Comment from : Drake

Hi Numistacker that coin is fake I have one that is 1853 and that coin that you have is counterfeit I would totally report that to ebay and put that on the seller's feedback remark for trying sell counterfeit Comment from : Johan Floyd Chan

it's a cast maybe gold but it's definitely not the coin I don't think that coin has ridges on the side or maybe it does but it's fake it's a good one too not people are assholes Comment from : Billy Gagne

100 fake Rims are all wrong, design wrong, etc looks like a California gold token design I was always told to buy graded gold dollars cause they're so highly counterfeited I bought a type 2 1855 raw from my reputable dealer, and it was cracked out of a old ngc holder graded AU 50 Sent it into ngc came back au53 Comment from : Sean E

a great deal of forgeries are here from CHINA Comment from : Rory ODonnell

Looks very different, smart move sending it back Comment from : walt2t

terrible fake often these fakes are plated in 24kt gold the colour is way off plus everything else you pointed outbrbreBay may issue you a refund and let you keep/destroy it they don't want counterfeits going back on their marketplace I'd call eBay first Comment from : Frank Furter

Yeah just by looking at it like the hair and color and the left ones head looks off osme like a different size slightly  Sorry man I think it's a fake Comment from : Silver BeachBum

Not just a fake, but a BAD fake ! Comment from : Philip Wagner

I'm sorry Fake Comment from : Robert Morris

looks fake 100 Comment from : BSD

Fake Comment from : sam

Of course I can't judge that But the coin is kinda ugly and maybe you don't want it even if it is real Comment from : John A

Looks fake as fuck Comment from : Jubo Obuj

Sorry buddy 100 fake Return ASAP! Comment from : Larry Stendebach

I have two fake quarter eagles that look a lot better than that Horrible reproduction Thanks for sharing Comment from : Dr G

hard to tell, but surfaces look a little too shiney and "proofy" for a business strike, "lustre" looks like a plating to me and face detail looks a little odd - let us know what you find out Comment from : Silveready1

Definitely fake! Comment from : Iris Finch

Break it open and see if there's chocolate inside Also, the hair looks totally different from the genuine one Comment from : Considering Phlebas

What's the weight of it? Comment from : Amazing Things

I think it is fake, does not smell an American dollar at all!! There is nothing as much as I can see to be similar with a US dollar! You are definitely right on your point of viewing this coin Comment from : Amazing Things

Hi Numi, The beading around the obverse looks uneven and too far from the rim The nose on Liberty looks large near the forehead Am I seeing things? Thanks Donald Comment from : Donald in New Mexico

Good that you caught it Too many fakes out there slabbed and raw Comment from : Sun Bird

With the amount of coins you are dealing with, and the value, I would buy one of those digital sensors that can tell you write away if the coins are real For the medals, it might be a great help too Comment from : papavalium

This is 100 FAKE The wear is not right, the look, and the coins are just different Comment from : papavalium

Looks fake to me Comment from : m m

The comments below have pretty well covered everything I could say At least you can send it back Irritating, though Comment from : MétéoMan

I'm sorry to say its looks fake to me, the rim is wrong the beading isn't the same the stars look different, so many things to get you worried And as you say the head is totally different and wrong I am surprised you brought it with your experience even tho you trusted the seller I am far from a expert but I would say its 100 fake, even if it had 1 wrong feature I would suspect a fake Comment from : damonz83

If everything is wrong its probably not right Sorry Numi Comment from : Silver Diva

Looks like a combination of a California fractional and a $1 Someone being creative Comment from : Vault Keeper

i'm a total noob and it definitely looks fake to me, in comparison with the other coin The face on the fake is more crude than on the genuine coin and the stars aren't as dainty Comment from : Soozie Snake

I think you're very intuitive and I completely agree with your assessment of the coin I would return it to the seller on Ebay for a full refund Comment from : CoinEnthusiast

the rim looks suspicious and also the orientation of both sides of the design is wrong Comment from : Tom Watson

Purchased a similar coin on eBay before Christmas When it arrived, it was clearly a fake, quite a few blemishes, no trace of the word 'Liberty' on the head, but very little wear on the other side of the coin Received refund from seller, he had purchased them from a 'cash converter' Now just sticking to slabbed coins, however with the $ so strong, things are just too expensive Comment from : Mark Stewart

those small dings on the rim are a 100 tell that its a copy when you look it up experts say that counterfeits sometimes have that exactly on the rim like yours Comment from : francis daniel

Something dosent look right to me Numi Have you tested it is real gold? at least if it is made of gold not a total loss! Comment from : Backyard Bullion
