HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 26033 Posts	Posted Today 5H 34M ago This came in a lot of international coins last week. Right away I could tell that something was not right, as the color was off and it just didn't feel right. UK 1 Farthing 1825 counterfeit. Diagnostics are 3.99 g, 21.7 mm diameter, and 1.4 mm thick vs. 4.72 g, 22 mm, and 1.65 mm for a genuine example. https://en.numista.com/6879 Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Yes, they may refer to it as their "black cabinet" collection.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75823 Posts	Posted Today 2H 54M ago Interesting find, HondoB. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 26033 Posts	Posted Today 2H 53M ago Thank you all! Quote: Still a nice example for the black cabinet! Yes, especially since it didn't cost me anything. Quote: Do people collect counterfeits after they're proven to be fake? Absolutely! But mainly CCCs - contemporary circulating counterfeits. I think that new-model Chinese fakes are of little interest to anyone in a numismatic sense.
