Jose Laureano Valued Member Spain 169 Posts	Posted 02/25/2026 4:53 pm Greetings. 1915 Half Dollar Jeton, Ketone, or Counterfeit Coin. I bought this coin, or whatever it is, a while ago. I bought it because it's very pretty, although the photos don't do it justice. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34395 Posts	Posted 02/25/2026 8:05 pm An interesting piece, but I am doubtful that it is made from silver. Assuming that a magnet isn't attracted to it, I wonder if you could measure the specific gravity.

Jose Laureano Valued Member Spain 169 Posts	Posted 02/26/2026 03:40 am The strange thing is that it weighs and measures the same as a Barber. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21586 Posts	Posted 02/26/2026 07:13 am Doesn't matter if it weighs and measures the same, it is still a counterfeit. Report this Post to the Staff

Jose Laureano Valued Member Spain 169 Posts	Posted 02/26/2026 5:13 pm I bought it a few years ago thinking it was one of those souvenir coins they display at fairs, or a token. And it's beautiful, and I have it in my collection. Thank you all very much. Report this Post to the Staff
