Definitely an old silver half.... seen a lot of commerce. Is it a favorite due to that? And it still has all discernible features....Cheers, RickO
Circ Cams can be cool

Oh, guess I should have mentioned its a contemporary counterfeit, made of tin and zinc. Its a lovely unmolested example with true circulation evident all over the coin. Cell phone images are a tad grainy, but you can easily tell it has fooled many people in its years. I would image they used a Fine for the base to make this cast copy. On the rim just around "IN" there is a small filed spot where they would have removed the spru after pouring.
Yes, I know some on here believe its fraudulent to own such a coin. I use then for sharing the knowledge with the coin club and with clients. For that reason only.
Very cool indeed!
