Real or fake?

[maccounty]

I picked this up at an estate auctions last Saturday. Do you think it is real or Fake? I'm no expert by any means. I've found a lot of artifacts so I know them are real. Anyway I believe it says Licking, CO. with a number below it. The number starts 089 followed by I believe three more numbers I can't make out. Just wondering if it's authentic and the type it is. Oh and I gave $7.00 bucks for it.

Without having it in hand I can say this from the photos, it is chipped in the right way. I don't see much patina but it could just be the photo, numbers don't mean anything. Look at it like this for a point of that size you got a deal repro or real. look up some of the online sites for IDing the point like projectilepoints.net.

Licking County Ohio is written on piece. Cool find either way

I would bet it is real. Most repros sold as real sell for big bucks.

Pictures are not the best, but from pictures so far it looks authentic.

I would have bought it for $7. Definitely an Ohio type and I see no red flags. Looks like you got a good deal on that one.

That is definately a real terry cloth towel. The quarter looks legit, as well. I'm not sure about the other thing. (Petrified munchkin Christmas tree?)

Nice profile I like the answers

it is the right material too...

Yep, looks good, sun patination is hard to see on white points, so sometimes fly spotting helps but a lack of it is not indicative of a fake, good buy and a nice point!

It doesn't scream fake to me. Certainly could be but if you posted it as a personal find I would be bothered at all by it. As a purchase who knows but it would be an on type/quality to fake an old label as it's. It particularly valuable point (worth well more than $7 though).
