austrokiwi Pillar of the Community 2087 Posts	Posted 11/19/2016 02:32 am I was browsing V coins and was initially taken with a crude imitation of a Venetian ducat. Price was a bit high,but not overly so, and then I read the description fully. https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/nb...Default.aspx If the seller is correct then a coin imitating a Ducat struck in 1763-1778AD is very unlikely to be a crusader states issue. I may be wrong but I would have thought Crusader states no longer existed in the 18th century. Assuming I am right: I really don't think the seller is trying to deceive anyone I just think their description is indicative of either a very serious mistake or a paucity of knowledge. Either way I would want to do a lot of research on any item I considered purchasing from this seller. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by austrokiwi 11/19/2016 02:38 am Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 11/19/2016 2:37 pm Alvice Mocenigi IV coins did imitate the earlier types, but you are correct that the Crusader States did not exist at that time. So the title is a misnomer. This is not a medieval coin. Report this Post to the Staff

BTW was it really appropriate to move it out of the other area of the Forum? Report this Post to the Staff
