It might be the singularly most faked US coin. I have seen these faked in the 19th century some, but they really took off with the publication of the Red Book. This was the first "US coin" listed in the redbook, so it became extremely popular. From tourist fakes to cereal box prizes, they made pretty poor copies of these not to fool anyone, just because the general public were aware of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>It COULD be older Collect, but when I hear hoofbeats I think horses not zebras.
