jgenn Pillar of the Community United States 1156 Posts	Posted 05/01/2018 9:22 pm I vote modern fake. I can't think of a legitimate reason for one side to have room for dentils but not the other side. Report this Post to the Staff
Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 05/01/2018 9:57 pm There's a 1743 dated one also under discussion here right now that has similar dentil issues. I initially judged it a modern forgery, but its weight is like this one not disqualifying. It's getting harder all the time to call these anymore on visual cues alone unless they're really obvious trash.

fluffy155 New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 05/01/2018 11:33 pm The distinctive design details for a late 1760 are correct at least, so both obverse and reverse were copied from a genuine coin. Everything is just a bit too mushy looking though, even accounting for wear and corrosion so I'll probably bet on fake for this one. Report this Post to the Staff
wonghinghi Pillar of the Community Hong Kong 1270 Posts	Posted 05/04/2018 09:34 am The craftsmanship of the edge of this coin is critical so pictures from the edge are required to judge it is fake or not. My first impression is quite good for it. Report this Post to the Staff
