Preacher New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 04/13/2012 6:12 pm While searching through some old boxes that belonged to my father-in-law, my wife and I found this coin. I haven't been able to find anything like it online and thought the specialists here might be able to help. Report this Post to the Staff

The original coins, which date from Spain in the time of Ferdinand and Isabella (early 1500s), were silver. Here's another thread with one. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
Preacher New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 04/13/2012 8:17 pm Outstanding! I appreciate the rapid response Sap! I read the thread you linked, and followed links to other threads where swamperbob discussed the fakes in detail. This coin matches his descriptions of a "Modern tourist copy". This makes a lot of sense considering odd text, reversed letters etc. I love the internet.... :) Edited by Preacher 04/13/2012 8:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
