    Its supposed to be silver but as you can see from the photo its not. You can still see some of the silver plating that was on the fake. I thought it was a neat find. Any info on it from you folks? 004.JPG 003.JPG

    It's a contemporary counterfeit, meant to pass as an original back when these coins were in circulation. Nice find :)
