<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dixonallred, post: 359627, member: 13786&quot;]<font face="Times New Roman"><font size="3">I have a similar coin as described by huntsman53. My Grandfather pasted away a few years ago at 98 yrs old and my mother found the coin among his possessions. She did some research and was convinced she had one of the original four strikes. After doing a little research myself, the coin is obviously counterfeit and appears to be made of lead. Huntsman53 did raise a question that I haven’t seen answered yet. Do the common counterfeits of these coins typically have the 17 or 19 buds? Are counterfeits of the original 4 strikes common? Also in the coin I have on the reverse there is an “R” imprinted into the coin on the right side of the shield. Anyone heard of any other counterfeits similar to this? </font></font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="3"><img src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c188/dixonallred/DSC02518.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></font></font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="3"><img src="http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c188/dixonallred/DSC02517.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </font></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
