vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 02/10/2016 02:03 am Another I received from a friend. Although not really visible in the pics, it has magenta and green toning. I'm not sure what the composition is Another head scratcher but without a doubt, not the real deal. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 02/10/2016 9:01 pm Pretty cool Vermontensium. I too have been working on some black cabinet colonials. I need to image them sometime. Had the the chance to buy a real deal pine tree a couple weeks ago but the $1,900 price tag deterred me;) Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34408 Posts	Posted 02/10/2016 9:58 pm Thanks for sharing. I wonder why they didn't spell out all of the letters of "MASATHVSETS". Perhaps a ploy to make this more of a fantasy coin and less of a fake?

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 02/10/2016 10:37 pm I don't know. Origin unknown. I think I'll do a XRF analysis on this one too if Colonialjohn will allow it :-) swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 02/10/2016 10:57 pm To answer Moxkings question. No. Looks to be struck. Smooth edge all around. Weight: 3.02 grams and just a tad smaller diameter than a US Dime. All three I received from a buddy came in holders like this. Although not really seen in the pics, the holder has older yellowing all around. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
