    WIDOWS MITE 1.jpg Looks to be the world's worst fake of a widow's mite.

    Here's a real one.

    You might be disappointed that yours is fake. The good news is that at VCoins.com you can buy a genuine one probably for $20 or less depending on condition!

    Here's a real one I bought for little more than the cost of one of the fakes.

    And yet almost once a month someone post a picture of one wondering what it is and if it is real!
