Well Mike Lahie was correct in his "spidey sense tingling". The coin pictured above is indeed a cast counterfeit of a 1951 50 cent piece.
weight is 12.1 gms
There is a complete casting ring on the rim.
Numerous porous patches and some strange features. A nice example of a contemporary counterfeit.
Thanks for allowing me to see it Mike. MM
