Sheencrofter Valued Member Ireland 201 Posts	Posted 11/15/2012 08:29 am I bought this George III coin when I first started collecting coins.Now I know a bit more, I think it may be a fake. It has a very rich brown treacle colour, which does not show up well on the pics. And is very smooth. There are virtually no scratches. I would class it between extra fine and uncirculated. I have no idea what denomination it is. It measure 40 mm and weighs 26 grams. Any help would be appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

fioti Pillar of the Community United States 4212 Posts	Posted 11/15/2012 08:39 am I believe it's an 1808 Geo. III pattern from Ireland, should be about silver dollar size. These were actually used in the states, before our mints were up & running. Report this Post to the Staff

CGCoins Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 11/15/2012 10:03 am I'm going to agree with Rooney. It appears to be the goldine version, but that could just be lighting and its possibly just a shiny copper. Report this Post to the Staff

Sheencrofter Valued Member Ireland 201 Posts	Posted 11/15/2012 11:54 am Something obviously went wrong here with software or something. I can still see the Irish coin here and I have uploaded a chinese coin on another topic I have just posted. But when I was trying to post the chinese topic the chinese picture would not load and all I kept seeing was this Irish coin. So I don't know what happened there. But I restarted my laptop and the chinese topic seemed to upload ok. I hope everyone can see the relevant pics to each topic now. Report this Post to the Staff
