<p>[QUOTE="jloring, post: 1259331, member: 15518"]There's a lot wrong with this coin, and as stated above, the "D" and date are wrong, the initials are weak or missing, the rays are wrong. Please note that most of the current batch of fakes coming out of China are non-magnetic and weigh correctly. However, most are base metal with a silver plate. Overall, this piece is better than some that I've seen. I believe it is struck (as most replicas are nowadays) not cast. The '21-D is heavily counterfeited, and buying one raw is a real gamble. Here's a link to a genuine example in similar grade:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/PCGS-1921-D-Walking-Liberty-Half-VF-30-Key-Date-/320750910946?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item4aae3e7de2" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/PCGS-1921-D-Walking-Liberty-Half-VF-30-Key-Date-/320750910946?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item4aae3e7de2" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/PCGS-1921-D-Walking-Liberty-Half-VF-30-Key-Date-/320750910946?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item4aae3e7de2</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
