HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25342 Posts	Posted 11/26/2022 11:32 pm Ty, the counterfeit 1936 Buffalo nickel weighs 5.99 grams. Appears to be lead, or at least mainly lead. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

I understand the sentiment, but some contemporary counterfeits are worth more than their real counterparts. Report this Post to the Staff
burfle23 Pillar of the Community United States 517 Posts	Posted 11/27/2022 10:43 am I have a few really odd Buffalo's- yes, including a 2-tail one and a Lincoln over buff! Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 11/27/2022 11:11 am That 35 is a classic contemporary, always been a fan of those. If you're ever looking to get rid of it let me know Jack! Edit: Sorry if I hijacked your thread Jerry Picker. Edited by Ty2020b 11/27/2022 11:12 am Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25342 Posts	Posted 11/28/2022 12:34 pm I have a few CC Walkers, but not nearly as nice as Jerry's. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2955 Posts	Posted 12/04/2022 7:07 pm Lets make this a hot thread I have several contemporary counterfeits, but this one is the one that started my study of these dark coins... Hondo Boguss, I also have a 1929 (unknown mintmark) CC walker that I found at a flea market amongst some other foreign coins all for a dollar each. I bought it not knowing that it was counterfeit but obviously wondered why it looked weird, only later did I realize that it was fake. One can also find a few more of my other contemporary counterfeits on this site, a 1915-S Barber half, and an 1858 CC Three Cent Silver trime...
