Quick Hunt - 4 Geo II Coppers - 1 Counterfeit?

[romeo-1]

Went out with my detecting bud Tony to a site he secured just this morning. My first target was a shoe buckle which I broke during recovery but it got better from there. Got a handful of buttons including another sporting button and a WWI era Canada military button. Also got 4 KGII coppers including a possible counterfeit? Doesn't look like environmental damage and looks like something that happened when it was minted. Thoughts?

All in all it was a decent hunt with a return in the future.

Counterfeits are cool. Yours does look like it was a bad cast. The flat side also is indicative of a counterfeit. Can you see any fine file marks around the edge of the coin ? That would seal the deal for me. Also the VDI would likely be quite a bit lower than your genuine KG's.

Very nice! Love the sporting button, too!

Sorry to hear the shoe buckle frame broke on you Patrick, but at least you made up for it with 4 KGII coppers!
Buddy, you're so fortunate to have these old 'loaded' sites to detect in the east!

If I found a shoe buckle and then broke it coming out of the hole, I'd probably cry all the way home!

That's the third sporting (Hunts) button that I've found this year...getting a bit of collection now.

I'm pretty pleased with the counterfeit...I'm sure it's not my first but it is the first that I've immediately been able to suspect counterfeit.

I love quick hunts that produce like that…as you know it can be totally opposite too,…full day with nothing really to show for efforts..
