Michael C Valued Member United States 219 Posts	Posted 02/28/2021 9:23 pm A friend sent me these 2 not so well taken photos of a few coins his grandpa left him. He knows absolutely nothing about coins. When I saw this I had to do a double take. Does it look real or fake and are there any other known examples of a coin similar to this Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 02/28/2021 11:17 pm The Chinese keep pumping these out by the boat load. Selling counterfeit coins as genuine is against the law, so tell your "friend" to be careful! Report this Post to the Staff
jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 03/01/2021 06:25 am I would put it in a 2x2 flip & label it as a known fake so the next person that comes across it in 100 years will know what it is Report this Post to the Staff
