BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 08/24/2015 10:41 am I think it's counterfeit because it has been made from metal die casting. The granular surfaces and lack of detail are quite obvious. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

The reverse seems to match as well. Have any pictures or more information? My book(Early Quarter Dollars of the United States Mint By Rory, DR. Glenn Peterson} only shows up to B-10. What little information I got from NGC is that it is a Die II of the B-3. Report this Post to the Staff
