What is a Contemporary Counterfeit?

A coin, usually from a base metal, which was cast or struck from crudely engraved dies or dies made from a host coin from legitimate United States coinage and made to pass for face value at the time of its creation. Modern counterfeits with the COPY labeling or unlabeled Chinese copy artifacts are NOT considered to be Contemporary Counterfeits.

Rarity

Contemporary counterfeits, by their nature, were typically hand made in small quantities. Therefore, they are quite rare and occasional acquired by knowledgeable collectors. The Liberty Seated Collectors Club is still researching and publishing new Seated counterfeit discoveries as they appear. There are two internet links which provide access to Contemporary Counterfeit databases. I am the administrator for both databases.
