JBL Valued Member United Kingdom 289 Posts	Posted 12/06/2023 09:17 am I am struggling with a firm identification for this coin. It appears to be a Carlos IIII 1794 Reals coin counter stamped George III as like this ..... https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces27971.html BUT ... it is not silver. It looks and feels like copper, it is not flat and is somewhat 'dinged' like copper. Weight is light at 21.3g (silver is 27g), diameter approx 38mm. I cannot find anything quite like it in copper but it just does not appear to be silver. Any thoughts/ideas would be appreciated. Cheers Brian.

From the crudeness, I would judge a contemporary (circulating) counterfeit. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

colonialjohn Pillar of the Community United States 1757 Posts	Posted 12/11/2023 9:55 pm I know you are not going to believe me but it still has some original silvering on this low grade piece within the counterstamp area of GIII at the K/6 area. I would give it a GNL# but at this grade level there is no 100% certainty. JPL. Report this Post to the Staff
