amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 02/23/2013 10:58 am Really neat. What does it weigh? Have you contacted the Contemporary Counterfeit Capped Bust Half Collectors Club http://www.cccbhcc.com/ ? They would be able to tell you if it is a know variety. I looked quickly and it does not seem to match any Overtons for that year. This would make me think it may be die struck and not a cast copy. Report this Post to the Staff
