<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CheetahCats, post: 1006816, member: 23874&quot;]I don&#039;t think it&#039;s an electrotype. It doesn&#039;t look cast.&nbsp; It looks struck because in the areas where it looks like whatever&#039;s on it has peeled off, there&#039;s still design.&nbsp; So I can only surmise it&#039;s some kind of &quot;coating&quot; on it - perhaps lacquer. What&#039;s odd is the &quot;coating&quot; appears to be died with a copper color - check out the visible cross section of the &quot;coating&quot; just under George&#039;s bust on the coin&#039;s edge.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure yet whether it&#039;s a counterfeit, contemporary or modern.... all of the specimens I&#039;ve seen have a STOP after &#039;NIA&#039;. </p><p><br /></p><p>Are bits of the &quot;lacquerish&quot; stuff peelable off the coin?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
