windweaver77 Valued Member United States 174 Posts	Posted 11/30/2021 4:44 pm Trying to figure out what this is, and if it is worth keeping, or should I send it back. Paid $25.50 Better photos now that I am home from work. Weighs 26.5 grams Pings like 40% or 50% omce I did some comparisons with some Canadian dollars I had handy... very similar. ttsDNaJWx7M Report this Post to the Staff
swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 12/01/2021 12:04 am windweaver77 The coin you have is a relatively common normally white metal counterfeit. Nice condition for the type and at the price you paid a very good buy. I own 12 examples of this type and my average purchase price was $29 over a period from 2000 to 2015. Yours is generally superior to the examples I have and only one of mine grades higher. There are two main varieties one is Coin axis and the other medal. I own 6 of each type. I have one example struck in copper and several with cancellations and tests consistent with contemporary circulation. The style of the eagle has parallels with other CCC types. If you are not interested in counterfeits let me know. Report this Post to the Staff
windweaver77 Valued Member United States 174 Posts	Posted 12/01/2021 07:22 am So it is a contemporary fake? That's pretty cool. About when you think it was made? It is non-magnetic whatever it is. It sounds like 40% or 50% silver on a ping. But I have no idea what white metal sounds like. It's pretty cool if it is contemporary I'll probably keep it. If not I'll get a refund. Thanks for the reply Swamper Bob. I wish I knew how to quote in this forum. Report this Post to the Staff

windweaver77 Valued Member United States 174 Posts	Posted 12/01/2021 07:26 am I am just guessing here. Contemporary Counterfeit Coinage On that CCC, sorry about the silly question above if that is the case. Report this Post to the Staff
