Many contemporary counterfeits were made of base metals and were washed or plated with silver. Some were made of German silver (a mixture of nickel, copper and zinc), which looked a little like silver but contained no silver at all. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Modern counterfeits are made to deceive the collector and often will meet Mint specifications. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Again, your coin appears to be a genuine CBH.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
