I removed the Chinese coin, it is a modern coin and doesn't belong in this section. You can post it in the World coin section. Report this Post to the Staff
tystgaard New Member Denmark 10 Posts	Posted 12/09/2015 4:01 pm Hi Thank you. Sorry for the other coin. I actually posted the Chinese coin in the correct forum. For some reason the uploader mix the pics in the 2 threads. I uploaded the correct pics. Thought I had corrected it. Thanks Nicolai Showed up here again. Report this Post to the Staff

chrsmat71 Pillar of the Community United States 4973 Posts	Posted 12/09/2015 6:07 pm i really don't know much about these coins at all. here's a little bit about mass and size, that looks ok.. http://www.rhinocoins.com/ITALY/VENEZIA/OSV7.HTML I'm concerned about the surfaces however, several little "bumps"...i hope it isn't cast. is there an edge seam or sings of filing? i hope I'm wrong...and may very well be.

tystgaard New Member Denmark 10 Posts	Posted 12/10/2015 12:38 am Thanks I have some pics of the rim / edges, but had problem uploading. Will try again. Its might be a casting. The coin was in a auction lot of coins and medals I purchased. This coin was only a bonus for me, as I collect medals. Thanks Nicolai Report this Post to the Staff
tystgaard New Member Denmark 10 Posts	Posted 12/10/2015 12:41 am Hi Moderator The pics of the rim, are correct and not from the Chinese coin, that earlier was mixed in. Thanks Nicolai Report this Post to the Staff

colonialjohn Pillar of the Community United States 1757 Posts	Posted 12/30/2015 2:42 pm http://www.rhinocoins.com/ITALY/VENEZIA/OSV7.HTML Genuine coins appear struck not cast. Your cast is probably around or after the period. Not a modern forgery but a later contemporary counterfeit possibly of the period. File markings on edge, pebbled surface, etc. John Lorenzo United States Report this Post to the Staff
