If a "silver" coin is labelled "copy", it is probably not actually silver.
Any reproduction of a US coin that is the same size and has the appearance of the real coin is required to have the word "copy" on it someplace where it can be easily seen. This is done to prevent the coin being represented as authentic
Yes, if it has the word "COPY" on it, it is a fake coin.
If that is a private mint coin, it is probably the weight of the coin.
It means the coin was not issued by the U.S. Mint and is just a copy having no monetary value.
If the coin has been stamped with copy, or illegally altered, the coin is no longer legal tender and can not be spent. It may have a collector's value - which is too variable to quote.
A copy stamp on the back of a silver coin indicates that it is a reproduction or imitation rather than an original piece. This marking is often required by law to prevent counterfeiting and to inform collectors that the item is not an authentic coin. Such copies may still have value for collectors, but they are generally worth much less than genuine coins. Always verify the authenticity and value with a reputable dealer if you're unsure.
A coin layered in .999 pure silver means that the coin's surface has been covered with a layer of silver that is 99.9% pure. This is often done to give the coin a silver appearance and can increase the coin's value for collectors or investors.
It depends on the metal used to make it, a coin made out of copper, nickel, lead or other cheap metals might be worth a few cents, however, the coin could be worth its value in silver if it was created in that and 90% silver it could be worth around $20 in silver.
A copy of any US coin has no numismatical value. Their worth is limited to that of the metals from which they are made.
