mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2247 Posts	Posted 01/07/2022 9:11 pm This one I picked up about a year and a half ago from a dear fellow coin dealer who also was thinking it was a contemporary counterfeit. Considering how mushy the devices are, is what lead us to that possibility. So I am just wondering everyone's thoughts Edited by mrwhatisit 01/07/2022 9:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 81242 Posts	Posted 01/07/2022 9:28 pm Agree, surely this is a counterfeit. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21174 Posts	Posted 01/07/2022 9:39 pm I have no idea about contemporary (= forgery?), but it most certainly appears to be a counterfeit. Report this Post to the Staff

realeswatcher Pillar of the Community United States 1831 Posts	Posted 01/08/2022 09:39 am Interesting piece, particularly crude, and not the typical 1861 date. Certainly presents as contemporary. Condition is a bit unfortunate, but still collectible to the target audience. Note how lopsided the shield is! Report this Post to the Staff

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community Topic Starter United States 2247 Posts	Posted 10/11/2022 08:01 am Time to revive this a bit... Badmetalcoin.com is selling the exact same coin with the same markers for $99.00! One matching marker is the die lines around the word OF. Report this Post to the Staff
thq Pillar of the Community United States 2840 Posts	Posted 10/11/2022 08:08 am It looks like a lead casting. Did you ever check the weight? "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime." Fred Astaire Report this Post to the Staff

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7354 Posts	Posted 10/11/2022 09:29 am I'll say it's real. Looks too messed up to be fake, if that makes any sense. Report this Post to the Staff
