This is a lead Contemporary Counterfeit. 7.79 grams. I read somewhere there might only be 2 known of this particular die. Remember this is lead and I could snap it in half with no problem. I can't imagine much more could survive being so fragile. I'm looking for info regarding grading this coin and where can I sell it once graded because I know eBay doesn't allow it.

ICG is the only tpg that's will slab contemporary counterfeits. This one looks modern though
Modern cast replica. Look to the right of the date. See where somebody scratched off the word "COPY?"
No value.
OMG I can't believe I had not noticed that. That's why this is hands down the best forum out there
I guess now my question is where would someone buy this? has anyone seen this exact copy before?
You can try listing it for auction on webstore.com they have many options of ways to sell straight auction, auction with offer, and I think they have a fixed price option. The site is totally free with no membership, listing or FVF fees.
Quite common! I have at least four or five examples. Worth $1-5 each (give or take).
Thank you all. I'm posting a few other contemporary counterfeits right now maybe you could help me identify whether or not they are true contemporary counterfeits rather than copies.
I keep any counterfeits I come across.... have found them in antique shops and one or two on ebay.... They are for educational purposes.... Amazing how good some are... Cheers, RickO
