    Why (it looks to have been harshly cleaned, but that doesn't make it counterfeit)?

    See the X? I'll bet it was struck from retired dies. Very Rare.

    I think the X's were put there more than likely to mark it as counterfeit, good try at a bull**t story.

    bogus, IMO. Look at the rim definition. Far too mushy

    Looks like a contemporary circulating counterfeit. Probably lead and had a silver plating at one time.

    I was wondering the same thing. That would make it pretty cool, especially if it's a contemporary counterfeit of a key date.

    My WOG is that the eagle used to have "Copy" stamped on it. The big Xs were just for artistic effect.

    I hope you're joking. If you were correct, the 'x' would be raised, not incuse.

    Ya, and the long stupid rambling story surely marks it as counterfeit.

    Would it matter about this coin. It is practilly destroyed. Even if it was an 01-S, no grading company would even make past the first step. As for a album filler, maybe. I vote for UGLY coin of the week.image
