I make all kinds of mistakes, but if a post is just unreadable due to no punctuation or poor spelling I just pass it by.
That is ensure, not insure! Sorry, I couldn't resist!;)
Counterfeit is counterfeit, I don't think 30 days would matter. It's not like you just weren't happy with it. I'd really push it.
My wreath cent is like that. I went with smooth, well worn for the chain. My wreath is probably VG details corroded, but it has a strong date.
Slight correction. It is 48-g, not 48-G. Maris used both upper and lower case letters to designate the reverse dies, hence reverse G is totally...
That one is a 48-g. Will be interesting to see the results.
Dang, I need to get some way to take pictures. Might be able to get my son to do it in a day or so. Yours has more detail, but mine is smoother...
Maybe we could have a contest to see whose is worse!
It could weigh almost anything, it all depends on how much metal was removed from each coin when someone joined the two together.

Welcome! No not an error, looks like someone was practicing engraving on it.
Well, make sure you come back and let us know when it comes back. Strange that if it is struck over a 1960 cent, it has both the date and UNITED...
One further note, hub doubling and mechanical doubling are definitely not the same thing!
The abrasive marks are clearly visible, especially on the high points. First thing I noticed indicating that it was ground down.
While definitely a replica, it is at least not the usual pot metal souvenir type! Pretty neat replica, that doesn't really copy any genuine...
Welcome to the forum. As stated, your coin is just badly damaged. It looks like it may also have been cleaned giving it that odd color....
Separate names with a comma.
