zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 04/22/2015 6:26 pm Hmm, originally I was inclined to think there was a chance it could be contemporary, but the style of the date and letters makes me think it's modern cast copy. However, I know nothing regarding contemporary counterfeit 3cS' so don't take my word on it. Edited by zxcccxz 04/22/2015 7:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 04/22/2015 9:46 pm Modern china fake. Probably made in the past 10-20 years max. The date is the giveaway. The contemp. counterfeits from the 1860's era would have maintained the same date font. Report this Post to the Staff
TypeCoin971793 Pillar of the Community United States 6370 Posts	Posted 04/23/2015 07:30 am Modern Chinese copy. Can tell by the date. Can be had on Alibaba for less than $2. Report this Post to the Staff
