My First Barber.....Counterfeit or Just a Freak????

[civilman1]

My 6yr. old son and myself spent the weekend at my brother's for his cousin's B-day party.He just moved into a new house but was still moving from the old one still.There is a field behind his house that I've hunted before and have pulled colonial button's and some pistol ball's out of.I only hunted for a 1/2 hr. until I got a good signal on the MXT........out pop's my first Barber.After cleaning it there was something that just didn't seem right.......for one it was very light and when dropped it didn't have that "silver sound",a normal sized Barber is 17.9mm,this one read's 18.6mm.,all in all it doesn't even look right.Any info on this coin would be well appreciated as I'm not much of a coin guy.Thank's and HH!!

If counterfeit, it's interesting that they chose to utilize a smaller denomination coin. Either way, great find!

i agree , is a dime or two worth the trouble to fake i know money was worth more then, but still a dime didn't go very far.
