Sheppard New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 06/06/2018 8:09 pm My grandfather gave me this coin. The local coin shop was stumped. He said he saw no signs of a replica, but he wasn't very well informed on this coin. I can't find a seam on the edges as they are very worn and there is no R on either side. Any help or a direction to go with it would be appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Second, we see these here with some frequency, and as far as I know, every single one has been a fake. Here is a link to a previous thread with more information about a similar piece: http://goccf.com/t/243581 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
Sheppard New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 06/06/2018 10:38 pm The spots are different above the tree from that one. And the branches look different, but I know they are mostly fake. Just want to know without a doubt before I give my grandfather the news. Report this Post to the Staff

lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1657 Posts	Posted 06/07/2018 05:14 am The New Hampshire copper is one of the most enigmatic early American coins. There is no hard evidence that any of the known coins are genuine. The originals were cast not struck and really only the written description of the coins when originally authorized is known for sure. The ones that are most often considered genuine coins have a different design than yours, so yours is definitely a fake. Report this Post to the Staff

All known examples are fakes. Here's a link to more info about this variety: https://coins.nd.edu/ColCoin/FAQ/wm-nhpattern.html Edited by SilverDollar2017 06/07/2018 09:17 am Report this Post to the Staff
