1877 Counterfeit IHC?

This does not look right to me. Would this be a counterfeit cent? These are not my pics and I don’t own the coin.

I'm going to say it is not a counterfeit cent per se but a novelty as it is the size of a coffee coaster.

 

It's fake. No question about it.

 

It looks like plastic play money.

 

OK thanks. I did realize that. Definitely checks out with some such items for sale listed as 3” novelty coins. I was only going by the pictures and the size of the coin was not specified.

 

These are definitely made from metal (copper likely alloyed with something else): https://www.amazon.com/REPLICA-Indian-Penny-Cent-Large/dp/B000LKXTX4.

You're welcome. I immediately recognized it is as such as I had one when I was a young lad.

 

Listia has several copies for sale including 1877 & 1875. They do NOT have the word copy on them. Caveat emptor.

 

I think they forgot to add the "L".
