mint crease or cast seam

A question for the experts

129 people viewed my threads 4 answered 2 are just making fun of me ....one wanted more pics and one answered but he is wrong

If what I read online about how a coin is pressed and how a coin is cast then this coin is NOT a cast coin

where are all the experts surely there has to be one person out of 129 who knows the answer to this fairly simple question .....


:devil:

What do the faces look like?

 

They weren't making fun of you. They are the experts and it was unanimously decided as a cast fake. I don't see why it takes 4 threads to get the same answers.

 

I think you should start several more threads asking the same question about the same coin. Four threads are simply not enough.

Oh, and by the way, your coin is a cast counterfeit.

 

I think what you read meant a planchet is placed between two dies, the dies impress the design on the planchet making a coin. This process would not leave the edge looking like yours. Yours looks more like a poorly made cast that had a very wide seam that wasn't completely filed or ground off.

 

The coin in post #15 was in a bezel and removed. Probably from a necklace or charm bracelet.

It's probably a replica coin that was cast and used as jewelry.

Tip-One item, one thread.

 

Based upon the poor and insufficient photos in this thread, I don't know why you should be complaining. I won't bother checking the other threads if this is the best of them.

Fishing for the answer you want isn't going to work irisheyes. This is a huge casting seam... Did you ever let your "expert" look at it in hand?

 

Your questions have been answered. What you have is not a valuable coin. It's a replica, a souvenir. You're spending too much energy trying to get someone to tell you what you want to hear.

As for how coins are made, this might help:

Well, your question has been answered irisheyes... but, like many others, the truth is not what you want to hear. So, in the words of the captain:

"What we've got here is... failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach... which is the way he wants it... well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men."

 

Cast fake. That's all it is.

 

also when you look through a jewellers glass the "CASTING BUBBLES ARE NT CASTING BUBBLES" they are only on one part of the coin ...the part that has a black discolored look

 

Cast copy.

 

Is this thread still alive? Wow.

Okay, forget the edges, irisheyes. Let's pretend they are perfect. Instead, compare the image of your coin (left) to a real one (right), one of the misspelled CURENCY variety.

Can you see the differences? The left fake is comical, lettering and numbering are cartoonish. There is zero chance you have a one of the few hundred surviving genuine continental dollars.
