Yuck. That is a bad cast example. I wouldn't worry about that one fooling anyone familiar with the series.

I visited a dealer who had a pile of fake silver dollars. Besides the fake look, they felt insubstantial in hand. I didn't need a scale for coins that are 5-10 grams light.

More likely die struck, though the dies might be cast, It has the look of the type of fakes they started putting out 10 to 15 years ago. They haven't really made much in the way of cast fakes in the past 30 years.

I just noticed in the OP, that there is NO ribbon scroll across the shield with LIBERTY, and very long, and crooked, vertical shield lines intersecting the horizontal lines to boot.
