srcliff Valued Member United States 453 Posts	Posted 05/17/2018 5:12 pm Well, the one on the right is definitely a US quarter of modern issue. Sorry I couldn't resist! Don't worry someone will know. Edge pictures and weight can be helpful. Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 05/17/2018 5:41 pm The first is a copy of a "gold doubloon" I believe, see the coating come off? The second appears to be a Ptolemaic period coin but I suspect it too is fake. Not at my computer to research it. Report this Post to the Staff

Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 05/18/2018 2:49 pm No weight and dimensions needed.... Indeed, both are replica's The first is a 8 reales pirate coin. You will find it propably here: http://www.sedwickcoins.com/fake_cobs.htm The second is a 'tourist' replica Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16859 Posts	Posted 05/18/2018 6:03 pm I'd have to agree both are replicas. The 1736 "pirate coin" is mass-produced and sold at numerous pirate-themed places, including Disneyland; you can find it right down the bottom of the Sedwick page linked above. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
