Is this a contemporary counterfeit, or something 19th century?

Whatever it is, it's kind of interesting. Looks like a lot of work went into it...

as soon as you see this: "Firstly, please excuse my ignorance. My aunt has recently passed away and left me a collection of stamps and coins.

I really have no idea about them but have been told that this cent is very rare by a friend who has one in his collection."

You can be sure that it is a fake.

Punt on it.

Neither one, this is a modern copy, probably post 1950.

Oh, I'm not interested in buying it. I just thought it was a novel curiosity.

So post 1950, eh? Never would have guessed! I figured they'd have easily done a decent cast replica by then.

Yeah, it is pretty awful if it's that recent.

Thanks for sharing the info!
