fplagge Pillar of the Community United States 660 Posts	Posted 11/01/2018 2:41 pm Wow! That "coin" detail is not even close to being accurate. Of course, if I had not had a authentic coin to compare it to, I would never know the difference (until it was too late). Report this Post to the Staff

CalzoneManiac Pillar of the Community United States 2233 Posts	Posted 11/01/2018 4:14 pm A quick search through a 2018 Red Book (which any collector can obtain for under $10) shows that reverse design was not used in 1837, the "50 Cents" design was used instead. This may be a contemporary counterfeit, but I'm no expert on this series. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 11/01/2018 4:48 pm Contemporary counterfeit and high;y collectible as such. Probably worth more than a genuine coin in this condition would be. Report this Post to the Staff
MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 11/01/2018 6:58 pm Thinking this half is Davignon 1837 2-B which according to this site is very common http://www.cccbhcc.com/the-most-com...vignons.html Value between $50 and $80 in my brief research for similar examples. -MV Report this Post to the Staff

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4421 Posts	Posted 11/03/2018 07:56 am Conder's on target, as usual. There's a great book out on these contemporary Bust Half counterfeits by Davignon. He breaks each year down by variety. Most are quite rare in terms of surviving numbers. Condition is typically low, poor-fine, often damaged. Collector values generally range from $50 on up into the hundreds. There's growing collector interest in these. Check out this website .... http://www.cccbhcc.com/ Report this Post to the Staff
