Good evening CCF, I just would like to know if this penny is real or fake, because I have never seen or heard of such a thing. Thank you so much. *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***  Edited by Avant123

Yeah, that is a fantasy piece which has nothing to do with any of our minting facilities  For ones information: The last Indian cent was minted in 1909, and the first Buffalo nickel was minted in 1913, so no overlap whatsoever  |

oh it is a fake one - for the reasons above, and that on the reverse of the 'future' Buffalo nickel, it says "FIVE CENTS" not "nickel' |

100% fake, but interesting to look at. Looks like that plug visible on the portrait is to hold two halves together. Any chance of you posting a picture of the edge @ava? Thx.
