[QUOTE="Eng, post: 2488823, member: 44227"]Hi Greg, i was at a coin club meeting a while back and there's an older member that always has coins to sell, he gives me great deals, i usually buy most of his coins. he had this coin which i don't collect, when i got home i looked it up on ebay and was a key date in silver, which have the size and weight of silver, but something didn't look right and i posted it here on the coin forum, most thought it to be real. One member posted it to be a foil cast lead center, which would show the die crack, i think you have one there to. [ATTACH=full]526435[/ATTACH] You can see the coin looks like it could be silver, till you look at the edge, the two sides fold together, as your coin looks like. [ATTACH=full]526436[/ATTACH] I think these were made some time ago, they show good details, but the edge is the key. size and weight will be off check that first.[/QUOTE]
