My research has determined it's an obv of a Carranza 5 Peso and the rev of a counterfeit (I believe I see FACSIMILE under the wings) 1865 Washington Dollar. Anyone ever seen anything like this ?

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 04/10/2015 8:02 pm The reverse is from a fantasy piece about the size of a silver dollar with a Washington quarter design dated 1865. I'm sure that is what was used as the rev The obverse is probably on some other fake mule Unless whoever makes those 1865 fantasy pieces also struck this "fantasy" coin as well?

Red Valued Member United Kingdom 252 Posts	Posted 04/11/2015 4:01 pm Went for £11.50 (just under $17) Here's the auction.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281655941123 I would've went more just to look at it in hand (I collect UK circulation fakes) but the fact the 'silver' coins in the lot were questionable made me stick to my £11 limit.

Red Valued Member United Kingdom 252 Posts	Posted 04/12/2015 07:36 am Yep, I don't even think the Chinese fakers could make money faking UK crowns, not those types anyway ! Did you notice the other listing they had, full of mixed world coins... lots of 'silver teasers' in there but they all looked like the Chinese coins in the listing above.
