Thick planchet, cracked from the rim to Liberty’s headband. This is a common variety that was so well-made that it fooled astute BHNC members when it first appeared. There is a hilarious exchange of correspondence between Floyd Farley (who knew the coin was bogus) and Don Frederick (who did not) when Frederick first encountered an example. Lettered edge. Struck from the usual “white” or “base” metal, a mix of antimony, lead, billon and German silver.
