1921 Missouri Centennial...fake?

[mrogers07]

Being from Missouri, I have been wanting to get one of the Missouri Centennial commemorative coins. I know they are generally costly, too. I came upon this one auction, and something doesn't feel right. The seller is in Macedonia and the Missouri coin they are selling just doesn't look right. I am no expert on them, so what do you all think? Real or not?

My gut says no.

USA 1/2 Half Dollar Missouri 1921 Commemorative 12.5gr. Pls See Description | eBay

Its in Europe--I would pass on it imo--

Listen to your gut. eBay is doing much better in not allowing the listing of out-and-out counterfeit coins but there are still quite a few sketchy offerings...


Good luck to all,

I worry about that shipping since its in Europe. I don't think it smells good to me but trust your gut.

In my mind, that coin does not look right at all.

Both the toning and the wear look intentional and unnatural. I'd pass even with a US seller.

The auction details state "No silver coin," which may be a bad translation, but the only negative feedback he has states "Fake coin." I think that should say it all.

I reported the coin as a fake and eBay never acted on it.

I reported all 3 of this Seller's offerings. What does "No silver coin" mean? It can't be good for the "winner."

Good luck to all,
