oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5239 Posts	Posted 02/05/2019 6:21 pm Definitely a forgery-it should weigh 10 grams. The value would be very low. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 02/05/2019 7:41 pm Looks like there might have been silver plating on this one at one point (but is now worn off, especially on the high points). I wonder if this saw some circulation?

swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 02/05/2019 10:15 pm petermegally The coin may in fact be a contemporary counterfeit - if that opinion can be sustained by a scientific analysis then it is likely to be of some value as a collectable counterfeit. How much depends on interest in the type. Typically for a CCC in decent shape I will pay $15 as a starting price. Report this Post to the Staff
Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1913 Posts	Posted 02/05/2019 10:53 pm If this is lead or pewter with a silver wash or something along that line It does have some value. I search ebay, Vcoins and MaShops for coins like this. Report this Post to the Staff
