throughtheireyes Valued Member 477 Posts	Posted 03/20/2017 1:05 pm I got this about a year ago with some coins I bought at an estate sale. I wasn't collecting coins at the time so sold the others but I didn't know if this was real or not. I finally bought a gram scale and now know it's not real (over 2 grams over weight) but I am curious if this is an early counterfeit. It is silver. thanks in advance, Blair Report this Post to the Staff

On the OP coin, clearly a fake and not a contemporary one. From the appearance, I would be very dubious about it being silver. Report this Post to the Staff
