Really neat. What does it weigh? Have you contacted the Contemporary Counterfeit Capped Bust Half Collectors Club http://www.cccbhcc.com/ ? They would be able to tell you if it is a know variety. I looked quickly and it does not seem to match any Overtons for that year. This would make me think it may be die struck and not a cast copy.

Ahh, Dave, I know you're getting old, but did you read the OP's first line?
