<p>[QUOTE="Numismat, post: 2619310, member: 15019"]Picked up this interesting specimen. Silver washed copper or bronze, appears to be made from a transfer die as the details are correct but the eagle is much shallower in profile. Weighs 14.56 grams, which is a bit low but close enough that it would not feel too light in hand. The edge lettering is not very well executed, but it's cool that they took the extra step to make it more convincing. Historically, this year was the return of a stable currency after a period of out of control inflation and rampant counterfeiting following WWI, so it's somewhat ironic in that sense <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This one would have been fairly convincing before the silver wash began to wear off.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii314/Numismat/A214ABD1-C139-4498-B68C-DC86F81CD299.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii314/Numismat/A4FDB35B-93AA-4DBF-996D-BF11CA1212A1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii314/Numismat/272A374C-BD1D-40AF-A128-7E5958C17CF1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
[QUOTE="Numismat, post: 2619310, member: 15019"]Picked up this interesting specimen.

The edge lettering is not very well executed, but it's cool that they took the extra step to make it more convincing. Historically, this year was the return of a stable currency after a period of out of control inflation and rampant counterfeiting following WWI, so it's somewhat ironic in that sense :) This one would have been fairly convincing before the silver wash began to wear off.
