<p>[QUOTE=&quot;VetStudent, post: 919618, member: 26037&quot;]Howdy Y&#039;all. I&#039;ve collected coins for years and came across this token in a box of junk at a flea market. I did some looking around on the internet and of course read the history of the coin and have seen that there have been replicas of it made. I know that the one replica has the reproducer&#039;s initials beneath the ship. Given that mine doesn&#039;t have that, what other signs can I look for to determine if its real or fake?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In comparing this coin to those certified authentic, it appears that all the details are correct. One thing I think you&#039;ll see in the picture is that the &quot;D&quot; in ADMIRAL on the obverse is messed up. I&#039;m not sure if an original could have suffered a defect like that? </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for any opinions and thoughts![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
