Geenee1972 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 01/19/2014 1:22 pm Found this coin in my husband's grandfather's house. Just wanted some input if we should have it checked out or if it looks like it is a replica. I have compared it to many photos online and can't tell. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 01/19/2014 1:47 pm the letters are too thick and the surfaces look too porus, my moneys on cast mold. DONT take my word for it though I mainly deal in canadian coins. And to the family Feel free to call me Will. Report this Post to the Staff
philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 01/19/2014 2:24 pm Welcome! But definitely one of the many, many cast souvenir replicas, though. Still, a neat reproduction of one the earliest attempts at an American currency. Report this Post to the Staff
nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 01/19/2014 2:38 pm I have seen a real one of these at the Canadian Currency Museum - this is a not very good replica. The surfaces are mushy and lumpy, which is not usually a good sign (unless you collect cast counterfeits!). Still, it's neat (and affordable!) to have, and an old replica might have a little bit of collector value Report this Post to the Staff

amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 01/19/2014 6:51 pm Not real. However, for clarity, there are real examples of different varieties that include spellings of currency as: CURRENCY, CURENCY, AND CURENCEY respectively. Report this Post to the Staff
