    Yep it's fake.
    Look at the surfaces and how they are pitted and rough.
    THen look at that seam on the edge. A coin that is minted will not have that.

    Hello, Can anyone tell me how to tell the difference between an original 1940's-1960's Peter Rosa Becker restrike and an early 1800's Carl Wilhelm Becker restrike? Did they both make early American colonial restrikes? Thanks.

    IMG_2985.JPG IMG_2985.JPG IMG_2987.JPG IMG_2983.JPG IMG_2984.JPG Hello, I have a Continental Currency Coin that I know to be a copy but I am not sure when it was struck. Based on the packaging that I found it in, I am thinking that it might be from the 1960s? I know absolutely nothing about this coin but find it to be beautiful. It looks to be either brass or bronze. I can't tell the difference. Please help if any of you experts might see a clue! Thank you, Jacoby

    Thank you for your response. When you say 19th century do you mean it was a re-strike from the 1800s or 1900s? How would I know for sure?

    It's a 1900d modern day replica prolly from the 50s-60s view the fugio cents site might give you a idea

    Definitely 20th century not 19th but can't tell you anything else. Pretty neat copy though.
