<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1707902, member: 15199&quot;]There are many illegally minted counterfeits of this coin that are made of the proper alloy. Dies can be created from a regular steel 43 by several methods and although China has produced many counterfeits, they were around long before China entered the counterfeit market. If you bought it from a person, on ebay, yardsale, swapmeet, gun show. or craigslist, the chance of it being fake is extremely high. A photo might help to recognize a counterfeit, but not to confirm if it is real.You can get a top grading company to authenticate and grade if you feel it is worth the money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
