Here is a link to one example: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthope...ce-271118358 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
hughwp New Member United Kingdom 32 Posts	Posted 06/24/2022 09:07 am Thanks Spence for the confirmation I was 95% sure it was a replica Just thought I'd make sure. I have a couple of threads below on some other hammered coins and as nobody has replied I wondered whether they look genuine or not? Edited by hughwp 06/24/2022 09:10 am Report this Post to the Staff

Sir_Nummalot New Member United Kingdom 10 Posts	Posted 07/08/2022 7:16 pm It's definitely not genuine. I remember I used to see these all the time on ebay...the colour is all wrong and I bet it has a dull sort of cupronickel feel to it..very nice idea to make a replica that has a rugged, authenticalised appearance to it though, don't you think? Could be worth a lot more than a tenner to some! Edited by Sir_Nummalot 07/08/2022 7:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff
