dusha1960 New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 04/28/2020 8:08 pm I got this coin from a box I kept for more than 25 years. We don't even remember where we got this coin from and I'm wondering is this a real coin? It is 29mm in diameter. I don't know the weight. Anybody helping me with this? And if this is a real coin what is its value? Attached below are the coin photos. Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

If you look closely at the rev under the shield, you can make out "COPY" stamped into the metal.

dusha1960 New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 04/28/2020 9:01 pm Thanks a lot for your help! Of course I can not see the "COPY" stamped into the metal. But I believe it, because you have experienced eyes. I'm thinking who the heck is going to do fake coin and write "copy"on it. It sounds really stupid! People don't have anything else to do? Thanks a lot anyway! Report this Post to the Staff

Its actually kinda nice to have the Hobby Protection Act of 1973 so that fake coins are clearly marked as such.
