Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 08/09/2005 09:49 am Hi and welcome to the forum. These coins look fake to me no matter what. They are very interesting. Often, they are called cartwheel coins due to their size. If you have a way to host your pictures, you can paste the url to the pic here in a post and we can look at it. Personally, I have never seen this coin counterfeited, but my expertise lays more in US coins. Hopefully, Aethling will be along to help you out. Report this Post to the Staff

Forgeries would be uncommon I would think. Firstly because the series never took of in circulation most due to their sheer size and secondly the're not exactly scarce. Contemporary forgeries I would think would have been hard to make and the amount of copper required would have probably been costly. Report this Post to the Staff

AuldFartte Pillar of the Community United States 830 Posts	Posted 08/24/2005 8:54 pm There are modern reproductions of both the 1797 twopence and the cartwheel pence. They occasionally appear on ebay and, so far, have always been properly labelled as reproductions. Report this Post to the Staff
