[QUOTE="Hobo, post: 616687, member: 11521"]The word 'COPY' on the coin is your first clue the coin is not genuine. The Hobby Protection Act of 1973 requires that all copies, reproductions, etc. made after 1973 to resemble genuine coins must be stamped 'COPY'. Some copies and reproductions are properly stamped 'COPY' but many - especially those counterfeits made in China - are not stamped. Like krispy said, I hope you didn't pay much for that copy.[/QUOTE]
