Cool story; pretty sure I have seen this some time back and the genuine coin. I don't recall who was stated as owning the "copy".

An Interesting Not Genuine Off-Center 1805 Half Cent

Added a group of 5 "early coppers" to my research collection including this half cent.

Images came out pretty well and show how the counterfeiters are trying to make these look more "original".

There are 4 different varieties of 1805 half cent, and this isn't one!

The die chip under the "A" is common to this family of fakes, but this is the 1st off-center struck example.

The chip is always seen on the reverse of a genuine 1804 C-6 half cent reverse:

I wrote a Coin Week article on this group of CN counterfeits...

Did a podcast on what I call the counterfeit "Morgan" Morgans for Live Coin Q & A on YouTube last night.

Image is of my growing collection.

Thanks! Curious about the statement about Coxe, as my reference shows 16 varieties of 1875-CC Trade.

"I have noticed on ebay that the bad Chinese counterfeit coin photos get taken down on a regular basis. It appears the seller sold 12 coins using stolen photos before the listing was removed.

Is the use of genuine coin photos a growing trend by the Chinese counterfeiters?"

Yes, I just posted this in the forum: http://goccf.com/t/474434

We see listings like this daily on the Bay; 1878-CC with 2 available and 7 sold:

Stolen from:

So I ordered one and then reported the remaining to be removed, which eBay did. We'll see what I get...

The "broken O" is common on many of these cast fake CC Morgan dollars. The mintmark shape and position does not match a genuine 1881-CC VAM...

I am curious about the different color and appearance of the obverse to the reverse. Looks like 2 different coins.

The side view of the coin looks like it is laminated. Two coin halves put together. It kind of makes sense since the 1814 was the last year of the classic head and the 1816 was the Coronet head, So the 1812 was probably modified?

I just showed it it NOT the 1816 reverse...
