WEll its lead, im assuming it was plated to make it look legit

 

[Iron Patch]

No doubt about that one!

That's a really nice period pewter counterfeit. Most of the time they are in awful condition.

Well done!

I have only found one silver dollar counterfeit, but it sure is fun to get one. My counterfeit dollar only has a few bubbles on it. I was convinced that it was real until I heard it hit the counter at the coin shop.

Here in Salt Lake a few years back someone dug almost a whole roll of counterfeit seated halves. There was one missing and another hunter found it a few days later on the lot.

That is awesome!!! I would say that I would rather have the OLD counterfit rather than an original.

But not a lot if you make a 1,000 considering what $500 was worth in the 1800s.

Exactly. 50 cents in your pocket back then was a lot of money.

Is there any value in counterfeits? More or less than originals?

I would take either one!
