I bought it on ebay recently. It probably isn't real, or is it? Report this Post to the Staff
mfry Valued Member United States 157 Posts	Posted 06/02/2008 9:46 pm I think the edges are too smooth on this pewter one to be real. But someone sure went to a lot of trouble to make it look really old. But I didn't pay too much for it, so I got another lesson in numismatics, I think. Report this Post to the Staff
SecretGlitch Valued Member United States 237 Posts	Posted 06/02/2008 10:42 pm I did an overlay given that I tried to match up the top section of the coins as much as possible. The date and "CONTI" are the two biggest factors against the authenticity of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
mfry Valued Member United States 157 Posts	Posted 06/02/2008 10:45 pm SecretGlitch, is that comparison with the coin originally in question, the silver 1776 Conti, or my pewter one which I believe probably is a fake, but wanted to know for sure. I know I'm new here, but I'm trying to learn. Report this Post to the Staff
SecretGlitch Valued Member United States 237 Posts	Posted 06/02/2008 10:48 pm The original one in question. Your one, in my opinion, looks real, but I'll check it out with another overlay. Report this Post to the Staff
mfry Valued Member United States 157 Posts	Posted 06/02/2008 10:58 pm I'm sorry the picture of the coin isn't too good, and it hasn't been in my family for more than a day. I won't be upset if it's not real. It was just a coin gamble I wanted to make. But thanks for the overlay if you do it. I would appreciate that. Report this Post to the Staff
SecretGlitch Valued Member United States 237 Posts	Posted 06/02/2008 11:03 pm Lucky enough for you, it matches up. That's a real one, just in terrible condition. Report this Post to the Staff
mfry Valued Member United States 157 Posts	Posted 06/02/2008 11:06 pm Wow ! A coin from 1776! I'm so excited. Thanks so very much! I wonder should I have it graded? It would probably grade AG-3 or something, but that's OK with me! Can't expect too much. Report this Post to the Staff
