From the pictures the planchet looks awful thin. Weren't these landscape pieces a bit "beefier"?

Seemed to be an attempt at a Ryder-4, even down to the reverse, but with clear differences in the letters, and a strangely high, upturned plow.
Well, looky what I found!

Now you know where to look for the word "COPY!"

I did look for COPY. Must have been intentionally worn off at some point.

That's what I meant to say. "Where the word COPY was filed off." No offense intended. It does look like Coin Replicas was the manufacturer here, though. Probably should be brought to the stores's attention.

That coin is FAKE and I KNOW who is selling it. I'm in south jersey too. I told that Azzhol it was FAKE months ago and he STILL has it in his case. BTW fake Ryder 4s have the plow on an angle. Go back there and tell him it's Fake and he was TOLD it was fake. Check it again in FRONT of him and SHOW him the seam along the edges.

Not knowing anything of Vermonts, I saw it and thought it looked pretty good. I did not "inspect" it very carefully. Just went, took some pics, and decided to let the pros on CCF handle it.

As a rule, I try not to buy coins from LCS so I will probably not be returning. Easier to buy coins from shows and the coin club auction anyway.

No you should really go in there and push this in his face. He was told. He knows. The ultimate "wrong" thing for a BM owner to do.
