Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 04/01/2021 8:58 pm They look good to me. I wouldn't put them on a metal surface, though! Did you find them in circulation or come across them in another way? Report this Post to the Staff
Jbdcboy Valued Member United States 104 Posts	Posted 04/01/2021 9:14 pm Numismatic, I bought them along with a bunch of other tokens and what not. Some fakes in the lot so these made me suspicious. Thanjs Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 04/01/2021 11:26 pm I was going to suggest this pair might be worth more if sold together, however, I noticed they appear to have matching fingerprints as well which is, (to me personally), an instant turn off. These look to be real, Congratulations! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/03/2021 7:49 pm What is the clincher on these? Well all the devices going the correct direction. But there is a clue I see that shows this is legit, but it being there? What is it? I not going to reveal it yet. But lets see if the coin detectives can figure this out? And how it relates to the last image? Up for it, or do I reveal it myself? Hmmm? Edited by coop 04/03/2021 7:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Jbdcboy Valued Member United States 104 Posts	Posted 04/04/2021 6:01 pm Coop, Tease!!! So the part that first made me suspicious was what I'll call "the slide" appearance on the left coin. But given it diff center, and I don't look at thinness a lot I thought I'd ask. But it made me wonder. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/04/2021 9:09 pm Actually a Quote from Mike Diamond. But I was wondering what to call it, but used his information instead. These marks are on the anvil side of the strike. So it you see these on an obverse side, then the setup was reversed from: Hammer die is often the Obverse die Anvil die is often the reverse side. So when you see these marks on the coin, you can tell what the setup was for the hammer and anvil dies. Report this Post to the Staff
Jbdcboy Valued Member United States 104 Posts	Posted 04/04/2021 10:12 pm Simply incredible. Invaluable insights. The hint was in the first pic you posted which gave similar info. Thank you Interesting question? What are they worth? And I think $6 a piece maybe based on research on the various sights. Report this Post to the Staff
