Corroded Fake or POS Real?

[braddick]

This is in my "I don't know what to do with it" box of coins. Looks kind of like a real corroded POS but then the portrait makes it look fake. (It is darker, in hand.)

 

Your opinions?

The couple of pitt holes that I see are indicating fake. Bought all I can tell for a guess Pat.

Looks fake to me, in fact I'm almost certain of it. Even if it were real, in that condition it probably wouldn't be worth much. Take a look at this page over at coppercoins.com to compare. Note especially the 2, that's the most obvious difference.

Looks like a cast counterfeit to me.

I'll vote fake.

It does look more fake then real!

Fake---probably cast from molds created using a genuine coin.

I think all of you are right and I won't waste sending it in.

 

I do have a (sad) little Indian that will keep this one company.

I vote "fake" as well.
