    This coin is so heavily counterfeited that unless certified by one of the top TPG's, is basically worthless. I don't like the denticles on the reverse of your coin and the color looks "off", but I'm no expert on Barber coinage. Here's an older thread on a similar coin:

    Let's face it... the mintage of fake "key date" coins far exceeds the genuine mintage.

    Just look at the date (especially the 3). Even with the other issues, this is more than enough say she's a no go.

    Fake without any doubt. There is an issue with obverse edge/rim clearly visible between 2 and 6 o'clock, very common on Chinese products.

    Interesting, but doesn't look good.

    The Dentils and the rim of the coin dont look good to me. Have you weighed this coin? I also dont like the date numeral placement. The 9 should be smaller than the proceeding 1. On your coin its larger. The eagles eye doesnt look correct to me either now that I look at that..

    I could be wrong. But I would stay clear of sending this one in unless you know its history and you can validate weight.
