My friend and fellow counterfeit hunter Jack Young has just finished and released his latest work on the nefarious Half Cent counterfeits hitting the marketplace today. Read it here:

https://coinweek.com/counterfeits/s...-half-cents/

Jack has worked with PCGS to uncover some of the very best fakes in the coin collecting world today. PCGS has provided incredible photographs to show the identifying marks for you. Don't get burned these are amazing fakes.

Hope all EAC and coin collectors can learn from his hard work. Enjoy and don't get burned on a bad piece of copper.

Jack Young's dedication to fighting counterfeits is amazing. I follow all his threads on another site and I'm amazed by all he does for the hobby.

Sincere thanks for the post. Even collecting Half Cents from NGC and PCGS this information is a definite save.

That article was fun to write!
Just finished and submitted one on a family of struck fake large cents based on the 1833 N-5 variety- one size fits all, just change the date!
Best,
jack
