mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2951 Posts	Posted 05/28/2025 12:49 pm Just picked up this contemporary counterfeit at a flea market a couple days ago. The dealer knew it was fake and so did I. I have never heard or seen this type counterfeit before. Weight: ~10.26g, real one 12.5g Diameter ~30.6mm Report this Post to the Staff

I wonder if the wear came from circulation or from being a long-term pocket piece? Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved. Report this Post to the Staff
