collector.detector Pillar of the Community United States 505 Posts	Posted 06/11/2016 7:17 pm I bought this coin for 23 dollars at my local antique store. Is it a fake? Weight is 26.66 grams(seems low) and a major rim ding shows copper. Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 06/11/2016 8:47 pm It's most likely a fake. Obverse and reverse both look exactly like all the other fakes in terms of detail, color, and surfaces.
