can someone explain what they see(in the devices) as it being a counterfeit?
It was stated that it could be easily bent. Even in a corroded state, a genuine coin wouldn't bend easily.

When I saw this coin it immediately reminded me of a couple of coins I bought on ebay back in the day(2007). From the sellers (bad) pictures it looked like the coins were corroded. In hand it was immediately obvious they were fakes. Seriously underweight and made of some sort of pot metal that could be bent relatively easily. I ended up getting refunded. Anyway, I searched the archives for the thread. The coins were not quite what I remembered. I don't believe they were contemporary counterfeits but I don't think they were recently made either. Here's a link to the thread: http://goccf.com/t/18703&whichpage=...chTerms=half
