Atlas642 Pillar of the Community United States 562 Posts	Posted 09/09/2015 10:04 am Looked at this many times and I keep thinking it's a old replica (possibly 1880 to 1950s?), but not necessarily intended to deceive someone. Perhaps it was a medal made for a long-ago fair or kid's prize. From what I know, tokens based off U.S. coin designs typically have different legends than the coin its based off. I'll defer to experts on this one though. Report this Post to the Staff
jdmern Pillar of the Community United States 1949 Posts	Posted 09/09/2015 10:11 am Looks like a Jeton or gaming token... I would guess if you asked the seller, the mm would be smaller than a genuine piece Boardwalk Numismatics http://stores.ebay.com/jdmern/ https://boardwalknumismatics.com Report this Post to the Staff

MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 09/10/2015 12:03 am This is just a cheap imitation 1. The Omega counterfeiter would never make such an ugly Liberty 2. From my research, the Omega man primarily faked HR St. Gaudens, some $3 and $10 gold coins never heard of an Omega Liberty $20 Just my thoughts on this piece. -MV Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 09/10/2015 09:38 am I'll concur with Meadowview after looking at more Omega specimens in detail - it's nowhere near the quality.
