realeswatcher Pillar of the Community United States 1962 Posts	Posted 06/11/2013 6:03 pm Not my specific area of expertise, but appears to be a cast... specifically has that 70's era replica look about it. The counterstamp is very softly imprinted (and also slightly different than the few I see in auction archives, though maybe there were several slightly different stamp dies)... Aside from that, the entire surface has that porous cast look to it (which, before it invariably gets brought up, DOES manifest differently than environmentally-caused roughness).

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 06/14/2013 9:01 pm Without even looking at the coin the word, 'copy' immediately sprang to mind. I am NOT in any way an expert on these, but I would certainly feel encouraged enough, and with some justified optimism, to take it to someone who may know.
