[QUOTE="LostDutchman, post: 547145, member: 16994"]Empire, I would have to say that the piece you have is not an authentic piece. I wish it was! I have seen quite a few of the reproductions here at the coin shop. I have also handled several originals. The difference is night and day once you have handled an original. I see lots of these. I don't know where they come from if they walk into the coin shop here I'll usually try to buy them for a buck or 2 to have as a reference for people with other ones. The one pictured below is one I had laying on my desk, If it didn't have copy stamped on the back it could definitely fool most anyone who didn't know better and most of the fakes are not marked like this.
