Everybody here has probably seen the really bad renderings of US coins in the 3 inch diameter size.

This is a little different, and I was intrigued by it. It was cheap, so I decided to get it just for fun.

The seller says it's pewter. I don't know what it is, but it's 30mm in diameter, or roughly the size of a US Half Dollar. The details are correct and to scale. When I looked at it, I couldn't tell it was an oversized replica.

Ever seen anything like this?

I saw that one and put it in my watch list before I realized what it really was. I thought I'd get it cheap, put Verdicare on it and maybe restore it until I read the description.

By the way, pewter is essentially Tin. It is used as a low cost metal for making collectibles items and dishware. It is one of the metals that cheap counterfeit coins are sometimes made of since it can resemble silver.
