counterfeit

Believe it or not, there is a club dedicated to fake capped bust half dollars. Hey, who knew? I guess there were quite a few of them in the monetary pipeline back after the civil war. Try a little :research: on the subject. As to the value of said counterfeits you will have to research that as well...In any case, that is a sweet find...
 
That's a real nice and interesting find.There's still some goodies on the Island to be had.
