snook Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 08/20/2006 10:50 pm Looks like Maris 48-G, even has the die break on the reverse (shield) in the right place. Has a wide outlined shield too, looking interesting! See here: http://www.coins.nd.edu/ColCoin/Col...opper.2.html Report this Post to the Staff

toast Pillar of the Community Australia 1091 Posts	Posted 08/21/2006 05:13 am Isn't it amazing, the different die varieties of the time. I wonder how hard it was to counterfeit in those days? Still if you got caught the penalty would be more severe than today. I hope it's a good one, even if it isn't I'd still keep it in my collection. Is there anywhere in the USA that sell "Replica" coins of this era? I have bought some "reproduction coins" when I visited Warwick Castle in England. They have sets from Celtic times through the dark ages to Medieval times and then Tudor and on to Georgian and Victorian times. They are produced by a company called Westair Reproductions Ltd. (the only way I was going to own those coins.) Edited by toast 08/21/2006 05:20 am Report this Post to the Staff

There are too many scenarios in which fake colonials come into discovery, but "salting" seemingly rare coins into old houses is certainly right up there. Here's an example of a wannabe colonial "found in Savannah". The seller has sold hundreds of such colonials; they are almost certainly forgeries. If he/she (husband/wife team) had such a genuine treasure trove,the State of Georgia's Historic Preservation Division might have a few questions for them: http://cgi.ebay.com/1701-Colonial-T...ah_W0QQitemZ 170020031760QQihZ007QQcategoryZ544QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Report this Post to the Staff
