Just for shucks and grins, a picture of the obverse would be nice (it appears you've inadvertently posted the same photo of the reverse twice). If you have it in hand, you can see if it's attracted to a magnet, and also weigh it. But it does appear to be a modern forgery. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

SteveCaruso Pillar of the Community United States 1796 Posts	Posted 03/24/2015 12:50 am Yes, welcome! Indeed, this is a fake and only worth a dollar or two as a novelty. I have one of these in The Black Cabinet's uncatalogued stacks. My sincerest condolences. Edited by SteveCaruso 03/24/2015 12:51 am Report this Post to the Staff
