<p>[QUOTE="cncman, post: 539187, member: 17256"]Ha, yea I know, fake, but I got this in a collection I aquired, I was wondering why this was faked, was it a give away or a souvenier or something? Weren't the originals essentially re minted US issue and would have a conventional obverse? As you can see it is two reverses, one with the date and one without. This is obviously cast and if you look at the edges you can tell that both sides have been put together, there is a seam on the edge. And why is it painted black? Was that just some kid that got ahold of it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
