Jadey Pillar of the Community United States 900 Posts	Posted 11/24/2018 7:53 pm It is just now occurring to me that both of these are 1878-S. I've never really thought of this coin as a counterfeit, because it is a whopping 45mm and weighs 27.8 g, so I always considered it to be a novelty coin. However, it does have similarities to the counterfeit half I posted yesterday. I think this is silver plated as well. What's odd about this is that it does look and sound silver. Upside images be darned. Can't figure out this image optimizer and uploader. Report this Post to the Staff

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4469 Posts	Posted 11/25/2018 11:42 am The coin was not made to fool anyone. A genuine example has a 39.1 diameter. With the 45 mm diameter, the coin is a novelty coaster that could be made from silver. Report this Post to the Staff
