That too at $4.39. It's a cast.

This is one of a series of known Chinese counterfeit "Hobo" Morgans. It's a die struck zinc alloy fake.

If you are into cast Chinese fantasy "coins", OK.

This coin was NOT hand carved. It's a Chinese made "novelty" item.

LOLOL...how horrible is. Wow, what a hot mess. I usually have my phone with me to look things up before purchasing but it was charging tin the car.
No I didn't pay much for it.

Well, that's too bad. These types are still called "hobo" coins, even if they are recent creations. However, they need to actually have been carved, not cast/struck.

It looks like something you'd see on a Grateful Dead album cover.

It's kind of creepy. I have to agree. But to each their own, of course.  |

If you want some creepy looking silver, I am a fan of this series: https://www.providentmetals.com/zom...-design.htmlprovident is out of stock on these right now, but I'm just using this link to show you. They aren't antique carvings or anything, but they are real silver and copper and look pretty cool. |
