Previously posted in Identification: Unidentified Coins, Medals, and Tokens. * Hello all, I am new here, and wanted to know if this particular coin I had is authentic or not. I did a bit of research, and managed to find that it is (or is a reproduction of) a 1652 coin from New England. Any other identification would be helpful. Report this Post to the Staff

For sure it looks cast which is a problem. For completeness, can you please also post the weight?

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 12/01/2018 08:48 am Porous surfaces, punches don't match, and frankly it's too round. The silver was either beaten out or rolled and the planchets cut out by hand then clipped to get the right weight. And after they were issued the people clipped them as well. In geneal they just don't come round. Report this Post to the Staff
