mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2952 Posts	Posted 11/22/2022 7:02 pm Bought this from a dealer at an antique store who knew it was counterfeit several months ago and I did too. I just wanted a contemporary counterfeit Barber half to complement my 1929 C.C. Walker half. This particular specimen is probably made from lead or white metal. Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24918 Posts	Posted 11/22/2022 7:59 pm Nice acquisition, mrwhatisit! I've got a few CC Walking Liberty halves, and they make an interesting accent to the collection. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 11/22/2022 8:38 pm I find this sort of base metal alloy cast fake occasionally in dealers' 50 cent junk boxes. I have about five World coins of similar manufacture. Not much interested to any more in fakes of this fabric to add further to my 'black' collection. Report this Post to the Staff
