Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 07/28/2018 2:28 pm First off, welcome. I'm surprised nobody's really chimed in on these, so here's my take on each. I'm skeptical vis-à-vis the authenticity of the "Ferdinand & Isabella" piece. Looks to me to be a casting (brass?), perhaps a replica/fantasy piece made for the Caribbean tourist trade or some such? The one depicting Napoleon appears to me to be some sort of copper/bronze medal, and looks to perhaps have been glued to something at some point. Certain aspects suggest to me it may be quite modern as opposed to more than 2 centuries old. Quote: I got my hand on these two coins... Sourcing matters. From a reputable dealer? At a flea market? At the time were any representations made as to what they might be? Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16835 Posts	Posted 07/29/2018 08:02 am Whatever the second piece might have originally been made for (and it is not a genuine coin, but a medal of some kind), someone has attempted to turn it inot a piece of jewelelry by gluing or soldering it onto something, whic was subsequently removed. This has caused the ring of darker matierial. It also appears to be having some corrosion problems (the whitish-green powder). 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
