    so it's been graded, is in the process of being graded, yet you've never sent it into be slabbed. Yeah, right. I think it's the third. Mainly 'cuz the coin is fake.

    And you have a unique one-of-a-kind hand engraved coin, made by or under the auspices of Benjamin Franklin, with absolutely no word from him or others in his aquaintance that such coin had been hand engraved, that it was made for presentation by Freemasons to the Hong Kong Grand Master, one who didn't exist for over 100 years, if at all, and since it had a word misspelled, then they didn't give this one but made another one exactly the same to give.

    And a bunch of other hooey you've written that makes no sense, least of all common sense.


    In a nutshell, we have a nut.

    Crazy person, go bother someone who cares about your wacked out theories and lies and all. In fact, keep bothering Hoge and all the other experts, eventually you'll find your way to the end, when the only expert left will be you. Are you an escapee from a lunatic asylum?

    most likely doesnt even count in horseshoe and handgrenaids ..!!!

    I have put a huge amount of time trying to find truth out of the most likely and most logically assumptions

    the pewter coins were not made in 1776 they were made years and years later and because i am sure of that and its easy to prove ..i'm not going to get into it at this time

    do you think they were all made in 1776 or did they just forget to change the date on the ones made at a later date



    my coin was made before 1776 if thats any help


    so you think the coins were most logically made in 1776 in Boston ...any ideas on who most likely made them ??

    Right, your one of a kind, hand-engraved coin with a date and design best associated with a coin in 1776 was made prior to 1776 as an intended gift for a hong-kong grand master. Even though Hong Kong did not even exist then, either. Just the way that your silly posts here, starting on Feb 5, enabled some American to find and submit his coin to a dealer who said it was real, and have it slabbed and sold by February 23, 2012.

    Your coin may not be certifiable, but it could be a different story with you.

    I went back and found the picture of the reverse with Hong Kong around the center. Click to enlarge.
    [​IMG]I'd like to believe this is an authentic coin, but whoever made it did a really poor job - there's so little detail on irisheyes' coin - the "mind your business" isn't legible, as well as other key details on the reverse. The sun/moon rays even end bluntly widened. To erase those details without more wear on the rest of the coin just doesn't seem possible. Missing denticals on the obverse, etc. etc. Until I see it authenticated in a slab from a REPUTABLE TPG it still looks more like a toy coin made in Hong Kong, and not even a decent cast replica. It's almost like you want to remove the foil and eat the chocolate inside. I'll wait for the slab, and hope that irisheyes admits it's a fake when she finds that out.

    Your coin wasn't made in 1776, stop making posts that don't make sense and don't answer any real questions. Get the coin graded and then laugh at all of us or commit yourself for a pysch evaluation after getting the coin back. Until then please just close your provocative lunatic mouth.

    THe coin wasn't in their pockets but the design was because it was printed on the bills.

    Your coin was to celebrate the independence but was made BEFORE 1776?

    If you have such proof why aren't you willing to share it?

    I did not say they were made in Boston, I merely stated that there were coins made in the colonies since 1652 with the first ones being made in Boston.

    "most likely" is the best you are going to get about a pattern coin that was made during a time period that secrecy was of upmost importance due to the pending revolution.

    I honestly think the experts over on Collectors Universe Forums might be able to help you more with your coin.

    Really, then how about answering the question I posed in a "tell me" format (in red, in post 215)?

    Should be a pretty simple and straightforward answer, don't you think?

    Did you mean "Possum Lodge"? That is VERY popular in Canada.
