<p>[QUOTE="huntsman53, post: 204470, member: 1242"]Definitely a counterfeit! For a coin with such great details, the rim is an obvious giveaway. Also, note the rub (bluish looking areas) on Miss Liberty's hair just below the "L" and "B" in LIBERTY where the true metal content of the coin shows through. I had a Counterfeit Kentucky Cent that had the same type areas of bluish showing through the Copper coating. I am not sure of the makeup but the coin planchet is probably some Pewter and other metal(s) composite and is Copper coated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
