swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 03/08/2012 5:30 pm Nice to hear from you and to see your counterfeit 8Rs. They are my personal favorites. How long have you been collecting Contemporary Counterfeit coins? This is one of the nicest redated versions of the Riddell # 415 that I have seen. The variety is normally seen dated 1832 but also known in 1839. The 1836 is the most common version. There are at least 4 other closely related issues dated between 1832 and 1842. The eagle is VERY distinctive, but many very similar dies (sub varieties) were actually made. I personally like this copy because most of the detail is captured. Most were worn more than this or were never struck up to this degree. The coin is a scarce variety (about 70-100 known to exist). Report this Post to the Staff
worldnumis Pillar of the Community United States 731 Posts	Posted 03/08/2012 6:14 pm I don't actively collect these. I only picked up a few over the years as representatives linked to my Mexican type collection, similar to counterfeit British halfpennys I have included in my early US collection. I have a couple more, but they are mostly copper colored that may have been silver coated at one time. Report this Post to the Staff
