The Massachusetts silver coins have to be one of the most copied coins of all time! I remember buying replicas like these from museum and historic site gift shops when I was a kid.

Still, it doesn't hurt to ask. On occasion folks ask this kind of question and they actually do have a treasure. Not often, but it does happen. Report this Post to the Staff
ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4416 Posts	Posted 02/15/2016 7:15 pm Welcome to the CCF, Barron310 Don't be discouraged that this isn't a genuine coin. It's a respectable copy of one of America's first coins. Likely made in the 1960's, your piece lacks the COPY stamp, as it was made before the 1973 Hobby Protection Act went into effect. So, you can see, it still has a story of sorts to tell. I hope you enjoy your stay on the CCF. It's a great place to learn and enjoy our hobby ... Report this Post to the Staff
