Just what is says. A copy and not original US Mint product.

 

Oh ok thank you

 

fake coin, but clearly marked.

value?

Just silver

 

looked fake, too clean to be anything.

 

nicely done copy

 

Clearly stamped COPY meaning it was not produced by the US Mint.

 

So what you guys are saying it's not worth anything

 

What does it weigh? Does it stick to a magnet? These data will help determine a value.

 

Give me a bit to check on that

 

Also diameter to the .1 mm if possible.

 

If it is made of fairly pure silver, it has what is called a scrap value. That is less than a melt value. 90% U.S. coins have a melt value and are traded as such. This has not real collector or investor following and only worth what it would be if it were melted and refined.

If it is just a silver coating over base metal, it has almost no value.

 

Oh ok thank you johnmilton

 

And based on the different color of the metal where someone tried to scrape off the COPY stamp, it's not silver.

 

So why is the word copy even on there messydesk

 

If it was produced after passage of the Hobby Protection Act in 1973, the COPY stamp is required by law, otherwise the producer could be charged with counterfeiting. This is regardless of the metallic content of the replica.

 

So is the coin worthless or is not sorry about all the questions

 

It is essentially worthless. It's the sort of thing you see in a "junk box" at a coin store. A dealer would pay little or nothing for this and be happy if he got 50 cents or a dollar for it.

 

Ok thank you
