Just a random item in my treasure chest, though it would be interesting to learn more about it... Report this Post to the Staff

NeoSpec Valued Member Canada 192 Posts	Posted 07/24/2016 10:27 pm Ahah! 1) sorry, I see now there is a forum specifically for unidentified coins, but I'd say you might have nailed it. I note that the page linked specifies a weight of 1.7g but the coin I have is weighing in at 2.1g Is that a plausible difference for a coin from 1737? Report this Post to the Staff
Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 07/25/2016 12:24 am I do not think this coin is a ½ real coin, but rather a 1 real coin. The first picture is upsidedown, but look at the symbol on the right side (with the coin right side up) between the middle image and the legend. The ½ real coin has a cross, while the 1 real coin has an I. Here is a link to the 1 real coin. The 1 real coin weighs 3.38 grams, but the coin pictured looks quite worn, which could explain the weight difference. Edited by Joseph7420 07/25/2016 12:27 am Report this Post to the Staff
