    I've found like 8 coins at the same spot, looked up the internet after, found that none of them was a rare find. But then looked closer after I read some articles about errors and found this error. I assume, if it wasn't a valuable or a rare find, you probably wouldn't call it a fake. With all the respect, I'll try to contact some expert and will let you know the result. Thank you for your opinions. Peace

    Thank you. Any worth range? I've just noticed that the T letter looks kinda like crucified Jesus, right?

    It is a contemporary counterfeit.

    I'm sure it's not, since I found it with couple more, different years.

    A fake has been called out. Inquiring minds want to know more. Peace Roy

    I'm 100% sure about the authenticity of the coin. That can be proven once expert will see it, I'm not worried about that at all. I just wanted to know if it's worth an effort. Thank you for your comments

    Same here, but there is a collector market for contemporary counterfeits.

    There's no way you could be expected to know, but @koynekwest is an expert.
    Contemporary counterfeits circulated with the real thing so you should expect to find them together. If someone puts an apple in the orange bin at the store it doesn't become an orange.
    That skinny, pointy chin doesn't look right to me, nor does the blobby liberty.
    Here's a higher grade example- people were debating its authenticity here too.
