Really Old Coin From 1721, Worth Anything?

I'm not really a thaler collector but I have a few maybe 6-8, starting from 1486 as I think they're neat coins. Most of them are Polish thalers tho.

The surfaces don't look counterfeit to me. In fact the coin appears to have hairlines obv as if someone tried to clean it in the past. Also the lettering is very sharp for a counterfeit. Finally I can understand the concern if this is a Chinese Empire dollar i.e. 7 mace 4.4 candareens, or a USA 1776 Continental, but who would go through the trouble to make a high quality counterfeit of a Swedish Riksdaler?

What an interesting turn of events!My opinion was strictly based on an original piece so I haven't spent any second trying to find 'dodgy' elements on this particular coin.Without the exact weight,diammeter and eventually having it in my hand I wouldn't hurry into claiming it's fake.If proved to be a fake ,then it's probably a well made one and above many others available these days,for example the transylvanian thaler mentioned by me in a recent post,that was sold in the end with around 550£ if I'm not wrong.
Gallienus I think faking Swedish Riksdalers would be very likely as the rare ones are quite pricey!Nevertheless I find it unlikely to find high quality fake thalers available on the asian market,at least from my observation.

I would personally tend for all the coins posted by this individual to be genuine.
This is the least clear, but it still doesn't seem to show strong enough variations from the type to declare fake without further images, weight, diameter and edge images.
I'm not a fan of conspiracy theories.
Fakes are good, images on the internet are hard to read, this coin looks good.

Well,if any of them are real, I envy your collection. Especially the 1486. That plus a few Polish thalers puts you into several tens of thousands for a handful of coins. Well done!

As for who would counterfeit a Swedish rijksdaler? The same who would counterfeit a Polish thaler.

I agree. Once more people catch on it's likely to find a continuation of similar coins and posts with some changes in dialog under a new member name. If moderators can verify the origins of these members, then when new names appear from those same or similar origins, maybe posts can be weeded out. Leaving this forum to honest people with legitimate coins.

Jgenn all of these claims are ridiculous, I'm not in the countefeit buisness. I'm simply a coin collector who have received coins from my grandfather and my father. I will happily give you any proof If you want, and yes I've posted simular coins such as riksdalers that's because I'm looking for more knowledge in the field.

A bit frustrating to see someone posting coins and getting the 3rd degree. This is similar to the garbage on the other coin site. If you think it is fake say so and why. If you have some proof other than some previous posts this person is doing something wrong present it.



Have you seen some of the posts people put on here? How about the really smart people on here stop judging and start asking some questions of the coin that the OP can answer? Instead of simply claiming it is fake and then dragging the person through the mud.

And to back up the idea of one being a copy, here's a comparison of some details. You see certain lines or dots or shapes differently.
I'm more skeptical in cases like these because I have encountered so many doubtful coins in my catalogs of hundreds. I don't claim his coins are fakes, I just point out areas that cause doubt. And that is an indicator that the coin is worthy of a closer look by experts. Pictures alone don't always make me think of fakes. Although some readily do, but I've been wrong before. Sometimes lighting and tilting can make big differences in how we see a coin. I would encourage members to post quality images so we can see a coin in its best light.
