Hi guys,

I'm totally new on this forum because I found myself a Oliver Cromwell 1658 coin.
I hoped you might help me to find out if this is a real cromwell coin or a reproduction.

And if so, what will be the value approximately

Thank you in advance

This coin is not a fake; it is a modern commercial replica, similar to the original, but not intended to deceive.

From the pictures, it appears to made from copper - nickel, not silver.
The style has all of the characteristics that suggest that it was produced in a modern coining press.

Thanks sel_69 for helping me!
Do you also know when it is made and maybe the value as it is now?

My brother found this coin and I am wondering if it is real or fake. I do not know much about British coins and it is hard to find solid info on identify the original coin. Any help would be appreciated.

I am just a novice, but this second coin looks like a cast one to me. The definition of detail is poor and the field either side of the head is dimpled. Look for a mould line around the edge of the coin. If there is one, then it is definitely a cast fake.

fake.

@cbernard, welcome to CCF! By the way, you may get better responses by starting your own thread rather than tacking on to a previous one. Either posting method will work, but you may just get more attention if you stand on your own.
