swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 03/10/2013 4:15 pm The items you have are a form of exonumia. They are not coins nor counterfeits - they are modern replicas of coins from 500-1000 years ago. However, they are struck in a modern collared press and the dies are machine made replicas. They are kind of like play money or markers for a board game. Personally I have not seen this variety so exactly when they were made and for what exact purpose I do not know.

Coins made before 1790 were not made on a three die press. The press was only invented AFTER 1790. To be real means that these three items were made hundreds of years before the method of making them was invented. Nothing can be made BEFORE the method of manufacturing it was invented. They physically can not be real. I have been authenticating coins for over 20 years now. I am sorry but your belief is simply incorrect.
