nelson9225 Valued Member 270 Posts	Posted 08/03/2018 7:26 pm I have quite a few pieces of eight but more from the late 1700's to the 1800's this one has a smooth edge. not the dots and dashes I'm usually seeing I think it's a fake. although it's not magnetic any thoughts?

nelson9225 Valued Member 270 Posts	Posted 08/04/2018 08:08 am it's the right weight at 27 grams but it's the edge that is smooth that bothers me. thank you for the opinion Report this Post to the Staff
Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 08/04/2018 2:21 pm It is a replica. In 1618 it was impossible to make coins like that, to round. The real ones were hand struck.... I have several similar types in cupper nickel Report this Post to the Staff
