Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 03/28/2017 9:10 pm It's a fake. And a bad one at that. They only make them in gold Report this Post to the Staff

jimson Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 03/29/2017 04:21 am But why would any one waste so much time and effort to make such an obvious fake? It weigh 3.2 grams and feels like hard plastic or something. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 03/29/2017 10:07 am Probably a contemporary counterfeit. It was intended to pass in circulation (at least once). Back when it was made five dollars would have had the purchasing power of several hundred dollars does today. So it would definitely be worth doing. Back when it was new it was probably have gold plated. Don't throw it away, there are those of use that like contemporary counterfeits. Report this Post to the Staff
