    Looks like a cast contemporary counterfeit.

    It has the very crude look of a counterfeit and the porosity looks similar to what you would see on a cast coin. It could be real but in that condition it would be difficult to authenticate. Have you weighed it?

    Here's the one off my vest. The only Mint State Flyer I've ever owned.

    Eh, whoops. There's just a tiny issue there. Think it's even worth mentioning? image

    BTW, kudos to the "silhouette" clad quarter, too.

    That "moldy" steel cent is just tragic. And inside a slab, too. Our hosts' stomachs are probably churning.
