CoinCanuck New Member Canada 44 Posts	Posted 06/10/2011 4:12 pm Hello everyone! Was wondering if anybody out there could shed some light on this coin that an aunt or uncle gave me when I was a kid? It's pretty rough around the edges. Some info on the coin: Geoegivs III Rex on one side with the word copy under his picture. NIA 1773 VIRGI on the other side. Can't seem to upload any pictures at this time. Any information would be great. Thanks. CoinCanuck Identified - moved to Exonumia forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

But you should be aware that there are fakes and reproductions of these around; we've seen them here on the forum before had had to be the bearer of bad news. The one in the link posted by valdiman is on a site that sells these replicas.This old thread has another such fake, the pics of it are re-posted below: Note especially the beaded border around these fakes, which the genuine coins simply don't have; the legends on the genuine coins are very close to the edge, with no border or rim between. 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
