KOL New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 05/09/2017 4:40 pm Hello! I'm new here but I have an older coin and I was wondering if it was real to begin with. It would also be nice to know the mint of the coin I tried to do some reaserch online but I'm new to this so I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Anyway I would appreciate all the help I could get.

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 05/09/2017 8:08 pm to the community I agree the coin isn't real. A genuine example is silver, this looks bronze. The details are soft and shallow, not so on a genuine example. Report this Post to the Staff

KOL New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 05/10/2017 12:50 am Well that's a bit of a bummer but I'm glad to get some answers at least. I inherited this coin and am not much of a collector of coins from that time frame, I have a lot of new coins from all around the world from my travels(not worth much) they are meaningful to me however. I greatly appreciate the feedback back, mabey one more thing what is the coins worth? Thanks all for your time Report this Post to the Staff
