okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5589 Posts	Posted 03/17/2018 8:39 pm Wow! I never even looked to see if it might be counterfeit .. I just looked at the Obv. One thing that you have to remember about faked coins. The "fake" coin was actually computerized copied from a REAL coin, so you can't go by stems or other markers without looking further. You might be looking at one of the real coins of the same die pair. The luster looks funky. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 03/17/2018 10:17 pm The overly thick 'I' of GRATIA and REGINA is another marker... This one looks like H.K. Replica Coins version, but struck in silver.

banqshawt New Member Canada 4 Posts	Posted 03/18/2018 11:35 pm I paid $40 Odd that it has such an old looking patina/tone seems very authentic interesting enough to keep Bought it off a little old lady who found an old boot of her Father's with coins in it Truly thought it was the real deal ... and it doesn't match the tone of the one posted by DBM. It also has a lot of wear spots- where the detail has been eroded/rubbed away. "SAD" Report this Post to the Staff
