  I told her that I was pretty sure that it was a federal offence to pass counterfeit coins as real....she was thinking the same thing....

  I'd suggest that she might want to avoid doing business with the dealer she talked to.

  She should sell it to the dealer who said it was real.

  I got one that looks just like this. On the edge of mine it says: COPY BECKER
  
  Which lead to a whole road of discovery that was quite fun. Anyway, look on the edge....
