svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 02/18/2012 4:42 pm Hello, mikelley, and welcome! I'm pretty sure the people who specialize in these coins could point out quite a few wrong details on your "coin". But even one should be enough to prove that it is not genuine. Below I provide a part of a pic of a real 1732 coin, and look at the detail of the crown that I circled. Now look at your coin ... I believe you have a "tourist copy" of the pillar dollar.

mikelley Valued Member United States 80 Posts	Posted 02/20/2012 08:43 am Thanks for the welcome to the forum. I have been collecting Spanish coins, primarily macuquinas for many years and know there are lots of fakes around. Suspect you are right in your assessment. I only paid $20 for this coin so always knew it was a copy but wanted some backup. Thanks, Mike Report this Post to the Staff
