Forgery

Just picked up a rather nice lead Queen Victoria 1846 2/6 (Halfcrown) lead forgery bit on the worn side but a nice liitle addition to my collection

I like the real ones as well just that this is different and it is also circulated, would love to be able to find out who made it but doubt that I ever will.

That is one neat forgery. I collect contemporary counterfeits, and like yours.

Since we are talking about contemporary forgeries, I also collect them. Here's one that is quite topical. It purports to be a silver 18 kreuzer minted for Prussian held Silesia. It is very convincing, but i'm quite sure that it is a fake.
