flippy Pillar of the Community Australia 1874 Posts	Posted 09/10/2015 06:46 am Hi I was wondering if I could have confirmation whether this coin is real or not.

The images are the ones provided by the seller. http://www.auctiva.com/hostedimages...0,0&format=0 Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Rdwarrior Valued Member United States 266 Posts	Posted 09/11/2015 9:28 pm From what I have read, these were struck over Spanish 8R coins. So should the edge be plain as the seller pictured? Report this Post to the Staff
swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 09/12/2015 01:38 am It is true that they were overstruck on 8Rs, however many have fully obliterated edges like this one. Boulton's press was collared and struck at very high pressure compared to a screw press. The coins were also prepared as planchets by rolling and I believe upsetting the edge to control the diameter.
