Slipped in to a little colonial spot today after work...yes...work on saturday! ahh...anyways, the last time I was here I dug a big handful of colonial dandy buttons...( I threw in the designed dandy I found the other day into this pile of buttons). I just knew there would be some coppers here. After I found a few buttons I got a scattered signal, I dug and found a large button....stood back up checked my hole...penny/dime signal on the DFX....what could it be? A little crusty green disc! At first the KGII Bust was clear as can be through the crust....but after cleaning I ruined it....I think its a counterfeit. It's a flakier material. You can still make out the bust and GIUS, I'm pretty sure It's a Half Penny counterfeit. Anyways, I had fun. Thanks for checking these ugly finds out.

Hey Jesse, nice hunt and for now we can all imagine we are looking at youe Dandy buttons lol It's gotta be something on your end that is not working :confused: The easiest way to see if that coin is counterfeit, is to run it under the coil and get a numbers reading. Then run a regal one under the coil and compare numbers. The counterfeit should be WAY under the regal one. If it's close, then it's real. It will read a bit lower since a good part of the total weight is gone.
