I've had this one a long time. Looking for CCF consensus. Real or Contemporary Counterfeit?

I will venture to say it's a counterfeit. Don't take my word on it though. Just a guess on my part.

It's a counterfeit. The head and date are wrong.

Great info harvey, Thank you! As I have no experience with owning any cccbh's, I must ask, what kind of value would you place on it?

I don't like it as genuine.
Bust and numerals not right.

Cool piece ... Looks like Lady Liberty has an Adam's apple! IMHO, more like $50-$60 on this relatively undamaged example. Most of the CCBH's I see have been, at one time or another, purposely damaged or marked to arouse suspicion.
