'1925' Contemporary Counterfeit Indian Half Eagle

'1925' Contemporary Counterfeit Indian Half Eagle. Extremely Fine [uncertified]. Contemporary Counterfeit gold coins of this design arerarely encountered, in my experience. This coin came from my personal type set. I'm guessing these counterfeiters were not very successful, asthere were no genuine $5 gold coins dated 1925. Hopefully they did not quit their day jobs. $250.
