Definitely not of mint origin. Think of one die having a square base and the other round. No way to put the wrong one in place. Only catch is, I can't see the seam.

Crude fakes are Two Cents filed down and glued, which shows on the rim.

Better fakes are a hollowed out side and a filed down plug, which will show a seam inside the edge on one side.

My guess would be the side with the scrape through the T is a plug.

With biggfredd it dose seem to be a some cracking down at the bottom below the wheat ears. I have notice on a quite a few of these that no refund accepted. For me that is a red flag. IMHO

If you look at the close up of the rim you will see the seam at the bottom of the photo .

Just as two heads would be for me. I was just adding some extra thoughts about the return privileges is all.
