Default Contemporary counterfeit.

It's a rare one all right but the price was surprisingly high as it's a bit
on the rough side. Billy

Looks like its time to get the dies out and the fires stoked again.
That's a ridiculously high price to pay for that item.

Still, his money not mine.

It's probably a case of, "if I don't get this one I'll never get one", hence
the high price. Billy

Its price is only 50 times its real value, but there again, its taken 2
people to drive it that high (unbelieveable enough the 3rd highest bidder
went to $110)

Perhaps its time to sell the ones I have, waaaaaaay better than that
horrible looking thing.

I just noticed, no where in the auction does it state its a counterfeit.

Is it possible these people thought they were bidding on a real octogon
countermark dollar?

even then, the price would be a bit iffy in that condition
