Matchoo5050 New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 12/25/2012 5:47 pm Hi all I have discovered an 1856 Indian princess type 2 no mint mark. I am pretty sure it is fake. It only weighs 1gram. Does it have any value to any collectors? Front http://screencast.com/t/mcSYiZo1l4M Back http://screencast.com/t/IqJOXBdaIXV Edited by Matchoo5050 12/25/2012 6:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Matchoo5050 New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 12/25/2012 6:24 pm I have a real California 24k 1gram gold coin that looks much like this. So that is why I did not know right off the bat. Report this Post to the Staff
Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 12/25/2012 7:28 pm comparing the back image with what CCF shows for the reverse, I see differences. The CCF image is of a 1855, but still The wheat stalks on the right are not straight, and the design is too close to the top of the number 1 Edited by Fuzzy317 12/25/2012 7:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Matchoo5050 New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 12/25/2012 11:00 pm Yes I mean do fake coins have any value? I see some on worthpoint that have sold in the past. ebay must have allowed replica coins at some point. But they sold for quite a bit. Report this Post to the Staff

And just looking at the pics it doesn't look like gold or silver so I'm sorry to say that it won't have any value Report this Post to the Staff
