Please see Pictures for more details. My question is this, If it's a fake then do I keep hold of it or throw it in my Copper Scrap Bin? Anthony - Birmingham - England. Report this Post to the Staff

Looks just like my trade copy, only mine's not been a pocket piece! Ive marked my "COPY" on back just to be sure, we know yours is a fake for sure... Report this Post to the Staff

My dad bought it back in the late 90s at flea market in Sacramento for like $25 he didnt know it was fake. He passed it down to me and I suspected it and eventually the silver began to wear off revealing a copper color. Heres some pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
