In the antiques world, I think the word is "charming". :-)
It's so bad, it's actually kind of fun.
An old counterfeit that was probably made back when the real thing was in circulation. It had to have had a silver wash when it was new.
It looks like Ms. Liberty is sneering at you if you take her as a dime in trade.
Wow... for an old fake, it sure has seen a lot of use/abuse....Cheers, RickO

I'd love to have this piece in my fake collection. Little disappointed that the maker didn't put some arrows on it and a "cc" mintmark,however.

That may have been deliberate, in case he got caught trying to pass one he could say he was just giving an IOU. Not sure you could ever prove it, though.
I have a contemporary counterfeit that's brassy-looking like the 1874 above. Dated 1872-CC.
That is a great contemporary counterfeit, in my eyes the lack of workmanship gives it a lot of charm.

"Keep in mind that most of what passes as numismatic information is no more than tested opinion at best, and marketing blather at worst. However, I try to choose my words carefully, since I know that you guys are always watching." - Joe O'Connor
Great contemporary counterfeit. Interesting about the IOU.
Awesome and collectible contemporary counterfeit. The silvering that was on it has long since worn off...
Neat
