Yup...this example gives most fakes a bad name. Way poor!

Fake to the point of being intentionally comical.

It's like they didn't even try. Abe looks more like Frankenstein's Monster.

I really wonder what was going on with that one; it's so far off that I'm also tempted to believe it was play money. I imagine that even back then people wouldn't have looked at their cents very much... but I'd also expect that even back then it would probably have cost more than a cent to make. What's the weight? |

An interesting fake! I'd keep it in a 2x2 as a curiosity.

The weight is 3.16 g It is the oddest whatever it is that I've found in a coin roll to date.

What economic gain could result in making a good '44 fake, much less a bad one?

Keeper, for sure! Practice for bigger & better fakes?

Would love to know the history on this one. Seems likely that it was part of a game, as in play money, but really don't know. A great find!
