uscoins0408 New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 08/09/2012 10:44 pm Hello, I came across this coin in a purchase of "junk" silver coins on ebay, and I'm thinking it's not real. The date doesn't look right, and it weighs only 11.6 grams. Any help would be appreciated, Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

ninamason Pillar of the Community United States 1227 Posts	Posted 08/09/2012 11:08 pm That coin is as queer as a three-dollar bill. I know nothing at all about Liberty half-dollars and can say the lettering looks strange and the colouring is COMPLETELY off. It looks like one of those plastic coins you give kids to practice counting money. Report this Post to the Staff
