<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 1968831, member: 4373&quot;]This coin has sparked an interest when I first saw it. While Swedish counterfeits of such 5 kopek are known and are quite rare, this brings counterfeit to a new level.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Presenting a copper plated lead 5 kopek. Yes, this is copper plated lead.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://omnicoin.com/coins/1027576.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you ask me, an original coin of 1796 AM 5 kopek is not terribly rare. Details are relatively good despite it&#039;s condition. While 5 kopek coins were common back then, this was still worth a fair amount of money. Therefore I believe this is a contemporary counterfeit that circulated back then.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I could be wrong and this may be part of a more modern counterfeit. What do you reckon?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
