I have been researching this coin for a friend. I am leaning toward a Contemporary Counterfeit at this point. Anyone have an opinion?

Collector of Victoria, Edward VII, George V and George VI Canadian; and most anything U.S. I am currently looking for early Lincolns, raw in XF or better.

    Looks more like a modern copy to me.

    My friend initially thought it was in his family for over 50 years, but then said he was mistaken about that. I'll go with recent copy. The rims are a little wider than the original.
