Contemporary Counterfeit Seated Half dollar pickup...

BINd this last week. Seller listed it as a genuine coin. Found this type listed on the LSCC website as 1877-102. LinkI believe it to be the same. The biggest give away is the so-called ostrich neck of liberty and brass colored. I also noticed that on mine Liberty's face looks doubled.

Interesting how some of these contemporary counterfeits are more desirable than an original.

Nice!

Yeah, like a Henning nickel. The only real Jefferson nickels that come close in price in circ grades are the doubled dies and the repunched mint marks.
Quite a while back I bought a small collection and it had this coin in it.
It has a silvery-brass color and it is definitely a vintage counterfeit from hand-cut dies.
Is this one of the LSCC listed vintage counterfeits ?
Edit: Apparently not as it doesn't match 1877-101 or 1877-102.

At that time, counterfeiting coins was profitable....now, the ROI simply is not achievable.
Cheers, RickO
how did you come to that conclusion?

Dcarr, that looks like a new discovery.
Is there any person or entity that I should report it to ?
PS:
And don't say "the Secret Service"

Just stay where you are and be on the lookout for black helicopters.
