I'm gonna say this is a badly done counterfeit probably manufactured in China. Compare this one to genuine coins graded at pcgs coinfacts and this one can't compare to the real deal. Another good idea is to see if this item is magnetic and if it is, boom: fake counterfeit  |

One dealer I knew had a few of these lightweight pieces around that he let people handle. They feel light and insubstantial, not like what the silver coins do. 3 grams light doesn't seem like much but you can sense it when you hold one.

This is a horrendous fake.
It's imperative to educate yourself on coins first, otherwise you will continue to get ripped off.
You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.

I agree with this being a poor replica. |
