[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 470213, member: 12965"]I don't see anything seriously wrong with it. :kewl: It has 13 stars, a Seated Liberty, a Eagle and it says Half Dol on it. :rolleyes: I'm wondering if this is a contemporary counterfeit made by Southern Soldiers during the Civil War? I've heard of them melting down various metals and making cast copies from the mix and with the look this one has, it's seriously crude like it was made with the simpliest methods, like the soldiers would have had available. I'd think Hobo would like this one to add to his black shelf collection. :thumb: Ribbit :) Ps: I might get it and give it to a friend that likes stuff like this. :D[/QUOTE]
