"Great condition it looks like it was struck yesterday"
Oh, no. It's much older than that. I think it was struck way back in 1993.
Those half dime replicas were privately made as a promotion for Pleasant Publishing Company, to promote their "Addy's" series of books for young girls. Addy was a fictional slave during the Civil War, featured in the series of books, and she treasured her one possession - an 1864 half dime (actually, who wouldn't! I know I treasure mine).
Those stupid things drove me crazy until I finally researched them and figured it out. I actually have ten of them now.
Hey, where is the word "COPY", required by the Hobby Protection Act? Someone is going to think that thing is real!

Do you think that the real lady is that much more attractive?
