HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25163 Posts	Posted 06/13/2026 5:44 pm I picked up this fake 1894-O Barber half dollar at a recent show for $1. At 11.46 g, it's a full gram below nominal weight. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

The seller knew this was fake and wasn't trying to hide it. There's no way anyone would have mistaken it for an authentic coin - it looks worse in hand than the picture suggests. The splotches are raised - this was a really bad casting. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95805 Posts	Posted 06/13/2026 8:30 pm Ah, ok. That makes sense. I don't go to coins shows much, so I was curious. Collecting since 1972.
