Mrzllewellyn Pillar of the Community United States 1901 Posts	Posted 10/14/2017 01:17 am Ok so how do you tell if this a fake or not what grade do you think it might be also guy says it is xf but doesn't it have less wear then a xf coin would have? I have no clue about grading so it might be xf or less He also has a pic of it on a scale weighing 6.6 grams. Any way to tell from these pics if it's fake or if it looks real to you guys what a far grade would be and a ball park of value any info would be appreciated thank you in advance Edited by Mrzllewellyn 10/14/2017 03:12 am Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 10/14/2017 03:26 am Weight diameter XRF would be introductory tests. Close examination with a 10x loupe by a numismatic professional would help. Such people are quite often auction lot describers employed by the major auction houses. A knowledge of die varieties and a match with coin pictured is needed to be reasonably certain of authenticity. Auction record pictures with Heritage, Baldwins or reference to the British Museum or Bibliotheque Nationale collection would help in the search for a match. From pictures here, I would be quite optimistic that it is authentic. Pictures a little out of focus. From what I can deduce, this coin could be in a condition of perhaps good EF British grading. My copy of Krause World Coins is not up to date, but I would prefer to rely on auction price records and interpolate before deciding on an estimate of value. Perhaps another CCF member can provide a more up to date Krause value than I can. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 10/14/2017 07:43 am OP's coin nearly 8% overweight by comparison. There remains the possibility of a weighing error. Report this Post to the Staff
Mrzllewellyn Pillar of the Community United States 1901 Posts	Posted 10/14/2017 08:35 am Yeah that's the only thing that's bothering me is the weight and edge lettering I have found nothing about that I don't know what would be questionso to ask him? I found this one which is pretty close to matching the reverse and obverse Report this Post to the Staff
Mrzllewellyn Pillar of the Community United States 1901 Posts	Posted 10/14/2017 9:54 pm Is 8% out of tolerance for the 1700s? I can't find anything as far as tolerance for this coin Report this Post to the Staff
