An interesting counterfeit of a popular medal.

Although this eBay listing --- https://ebay.com/itm/1854-Crystal-Palace-Opening-New-York-HK-8-Large-Version-63mm/254689688836?hash=item3b4cb03d04:g:VTUAAOSwPtZfOTpv --- is for a large version of the popular HK-8 Crystal Palace SC$ it sort of surprised me that it would be counterfeited. I suppose I should expect things like this since a "quick buck" is what people seem to want. This one looks cast to me with telltale bubbling of the surfaces, sad because it would be a nice medal to own in the larger format if it was clean and genuine.
