As soon as you see the beaded border coming up you know it's a fake.

And the CuNi cents, when new did have a "white" or silver appearance similar to that of a new five cent piece, but with a slight yellowish cast.

I'm a little curious. Where did you get that coin? Did you pay for it? If so, how much? Primarily is the color shown here the correct color or is this a poor lighting effect? Occationally someone will post a photo and the color is all off but it's not the coin, just the photo. The sandblasted looks of the coin makes me wonder just what it is or what it has gone through.

a fake, but still collectible, and a neat piece.
