first like you all said that its counterfeit. (yet the first one looks like a 3rd party strike like tehy did with large cents in 1837.
or they are experimental government strikes. kinda like the 1974 alluminum cents. and the 1943 ,44 cents . they were experiments that teh govt were unhappy with . cause 1858 was the last year for the FE and many were reused 1857 strikes. teh 1875's was teh last year of the 20 cent piece.. the 1870 had the variteity of the Closed N in "CENTS" . and teh 1836 2 cent experimental cent that lead to teh 1864-73 2 cent pieces (also failed)
unless they were all shrunken down with that super magnet though

The longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice is it possible for an empire to rise without His aid? Benjamin Franklin
RKKay was kind enough to show my wife and myself these at the FUN show. They are truly interesting to look at.
I presume the counterfeiters likely owned an actual copy of some of these patterns. I am left to wonder how these "coins" were created without damaging the patterns that somehow provided the prototype for the counterfeit. Do you suppose they used cast copies in order to not harm the original, genuine coin?

HEY CAROL! RKKAY TYPED A BAD WORD!
Cyril was always the life of the party because of the feuchtwanger in his pocket.
Sorry...couldn't help myself...I'll just go and seek counseling now.
