Ngdawa Valued Member Sweden 347 Posts	Posted 01/02/2013 5:13 pm Hi Guys! I found this coins on an auction site and I'm curious if it's genuine. This guy have some fake coins out without informing about it (don't know if his aware of it, but I've notified him). That's why I'm suspicious about this coin. (NOTE: it's upside-down!) Please take a look and let me know what you think about its genuineness and price. Thanks! Moved to World Coins forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 01/02/2013 8:58 pm The solid rim that the denticles meet indicates that this coin was struck in a collar, which I don't believe the genuine coins were. Report this Post to the Staff
Roderick New Member United States 34 Posts	Posted 01/03/2013 01:11 am I have a similar if not identical coin in a drawer somewhere. Mine is a fake made out of an antimony, tin and zinc alloy (in other words lead free pewter). 20 years ago coins like these were made for French and Indian War & Revolutionary War living history re-enactments. Although one cannot know for certain if the coin is pewter copy from a photograph, my instinct tells me to steer well away from this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Ngdawa Valued Member Sweden 347 Posts	Posted 01/03/2013 04:16 am I found in funny too somehow. Might be that I ceompared it with other photos of similar coins, and noone looked like this, the lustre and everything feels wrong. It should be silver, but it doesn't look likes it is..? Thanks guys! Report this Post to the Staff
