jfransch Pillar of the Community United States 1801 Posts	Posted 08/09/2011 11:26 am I am sorry to inform you that the "coin" is a modern replica. As such it has no value beyond that of a curiosity piece. If you could, please test it with a magnet and post a picture of the edge of the coin for information purposes so others here on the forum can see what to look out for. Report this Post to the Staff
realeswatcher Pillar of the Community United States 1962 Posts	Posted 08/09/2011 5:08 pm Commonly-seen replica with imprecise replication of the original's detail. RE: the magnet thing... NONE of the current crop of rather good, accurate weight fakes coming out of Asia are made of magnetic. People read that and then get it in their heads that doesn't stick to a magnet = genuine. That only weeds out the pieces that really would only fool... fools. You know darn well THESE don't stick to magnets: http://cgi.ebay.com/Mexico-1743-MF-...150636282284 http://cgi.ebay.com/Mexico-1750-MF-...150642485082 http://cgi.ebay.com/Mexico-1770-MF-...150642483455 http://cgi.ebay.com/Mexico-1770-MF-...150636284334 Report this Post to the Staff
swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 08/10/2011 5:30 pm I agree very modern replica made for tourists - value $1 as a curio. Report this Post to the Staff
Premiess New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 08/10/2011 7:40 pm Thanks all of you for the info. I did try the magnet just for the heck of it. It didn't stick at all. Then again I know nothing about the metals used in coins. If its just a modern replica I will hold on to it as a keepsake. Report this Post to the Staff
