Kbrock69 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 03/05/2019 12:02 pm First I'd like to thank you in advance for any help you can offer. I found these coins in a can of coins, and these 2 really stood out. A couple friends told me they are 1715 gold doublings S 2. I would be very happy to know for sure and know their worth. I've been told they are worth a lot. Also, how would I know if they are real or not. I've also been told,even if their not real they still might be worth something. Again, thank you for your help!

(A counterfeit made during the time period that the coin was meant to circulate.) Report this Post to the Staff

Kbrock69 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 03/05/2019 7:56 pm Thank you both for your input. Not sure if I want to pay 200 dollars to send it in and have it checked and certified now Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7945 Posts	Posted 03/05/2019 8:54 pm It looks like a 4 escudo coin of Philip V, like this one: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces53672.html This type is earlier than the one posted by nelson9225, which explains why it looks different. (also, the most recent photo is upside down, and it is a 4 escudo coin, not a doubloon). I cannot comment on authenticity. The larger, silver coin appears to be a copy of an 8 reales like this one: https://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotv...19658b195549 Edited by tdziemia 03/05/2019 9:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
nelson9225 Valued Member 270 Posts	Posted 03/06/2019 09:25 am I was looking on line for 1715 4 escudos from Mexico mint this is what I found. if real it would be pretty valuable Report this Post to the Staff
Kbrock69 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 03/06/2019 6:53 pm Thank you for taking the time to look at them. The weight is different than the one you posted. It was something, ours weighs 7.6 grams, which we were told would make it double escudos. Have you ever heard of it? Report this Post to the Staff

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7945 Posts	Posted 03/06/2019 8:03 pm Quote: ours weighs 7.6 grams, which we were told would make it double escudos There are other experts out here who can also weigh in, but a 2 escudo coin should weigh 6.6 to 6.7 grams, not 7.6. Your coin has IIII (= 4 escudos). These two facts suggest you do not have an authentic coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 03/07/2019 04:37 am I would loose not much time on these coins. The details are too crude to be good. They look like cast coins. The 'coins' were made for treasure seekers on some 'pirate' beaches. They even were made for board games. https://www.amazon.com/Metal-Pirate...p/B001CICTZS http://www.woodchests.com/Metal-Pir..._p_4998.html ..... Report this Post to the Staff
