<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1890055, member: 37839"]Sure--look at the stars on the obverse--they are crudely detailed. The date is is crude also--look at the "3--" it is out of proportion to the 9. The lettering on the reverse is also crude, and looks more like typography, as opposed to engraving. I can't comment on the metal, as I have never seen the coin in hand, but it looks cast, as if it were part silver and part base metal. The eagle on the reverse is out of proportion--too far in the left field. Detailing on the wings is crude and lacks specific definition--once again pointing to cast and not struck. This one is a poor counterfeit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
