Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 12/15/2018 4:30 pm @moose, compare your coin with the one in this link: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces95975.html I feel very comfortable calling yours a modern fake.

moose59 Pillar of the Community United States 732 Posts	Posted 12/15/2018 7:09 pm I agree with it being a modern copy, or replica. Wouldn't call it a modern fake, as it is made out of bronze and stamped. Would be interesting to see where is came from and what it really is! Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 12/16/2018 04:19 am moose59, be very careful. The image appears to be a dark Buffalo nickel. Images need to have unique names, otherwise the last one uploaded overwrites others with the same name. Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 188052 Posts	Posted 12/18/2018 10:04 am I fixed the OP. You need to rename your files to something meaningful before uploading them! "S20181215_0001-_2_.jpg" is not a good file name. "Unknown_KAICA_coin_OBV.jpg" is a good file name.
