paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 07/10/2018 09:50 am I would get in touch with @realeswatcher or @swamperbob here, both of whom have nearly encyclopedic knowledge of these coins and counterfeits (contemporary and modern.)

Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 07/10/2018 10:02 am Well it's counterfeit, but is it a contemporary one or more modern? Not really sure. My best guess is a mid 20th century replica, but not 100% confident on that. Wouldn't be surprised if contemporary though. Edited by Numismat 07/10/2018 10:06 am Report this Post to the Staff
