Another term for space fillers is washers. Just drill the holes to complete.

Don't laugh. I've seen verdigris ridden crap go for a pretty penny on ebay. Keep an eye out for this listing. It's gonna provide some amusement this week!

Indeed, I'm not savvy enough to spot a fake coin. That is why I would normally baulk at buying anything like this. That the the prospect of going through thousands of coins looking for a "good" one. What a nightmare. Looking at the guy's other listings it seems like he knows what is a good coin. Surely he'd know what a real one is worth.

I actually asked the guy if he knew what he was doing. This was his reply.
I bought it in a huge bulk lot of copper coins,,,the likely hood of it been real,! unlikely,, just the patina tells me its been tamped with.Hence why its in the COPPER BULLION PILE

And I just got the popcorn maker out and all! Don't the facsimile ones have to be stamped "copy" by law?

I don't think there is law that copies have to be stamped. An offence only occurs if you try to pass one off as genuine. When was the last time you heard about a prosecution for such an offence?

Don't forget the fake 1930 in the second photo (under the 1929 at the top).
