Hello everyone,

I am a UK Collector who is extending the collection to US coins. I have most of the dollars now, but have recently seen this. Seems too good to be true so is probably a fake. But am wet behind the ears with US coins so your knowledge on this would be appreciated.

Thank you

A really bad fake at that - Welcome aboard.
I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

Took all of 1 second to see it was a counterfeit.
If you want to see what genuine US coins look like,
Click on the "US Coin Facts" forum in the left hand
column (under the 3 green forums) for information.

That obverse was a little too racy for the time to make it thru the censors
