1908 D Barber Half Dollar Counterfeit - Cast 8.94g

I always like looking at these posts of yours. Are you specializing in any particular group of counterfeits, like contemporary circulating counterfeits of classic US coins as opposed to say, numismatic forgeries?

I honestly just have an interest in fake coins. The more someone tried to pass it, rather than a tourist replica, the better. I can just picture someone in their shop expertly gluing on a mint mark, or making die molds or whatever for the technique they are using. And it always surprises me just how many of these things are out there. Not every dealer I stop at will sell them to me, as there is a certain need for trust when selling someone a very good 1909-S VDB counterfeit for just a couple bucks that it won't immediately be sold back into the world. But over time I've been able to acquire several hundred of them and it's always interesting to see what I run into. I'll toss up a dime I also got yesterday, another cast Barber.
