I would very much welcome a second opinion and any characteristics to look out for when trying to identify cash coin repros. Report this Post to the Staff

The patina and surface of the coin is fine, since the casting method created that surface. Nothing like those current repros for Fengshui, etc. A common piece though, goes around 50 cents to a dollar apiece. Good piece of history! Anthony Report this Post to the Staff

I agree with @ATCM that there is nothing that screams "fake" for your coin (although in various CCF quizzes over the years, I have repeatedly shown my lack of skill in this area).
