The coins I just posted all have something in common with my 1776 coin except one the INDIAN ...you just dont know that..... yet .......!!
THere were other world coins in the first photo she posted, and some of those looked false. That is where my comment was from. Other than that I won't have any more comments.
Really? I am impressed that you can tell, I can't even tell what a couple of them are based on those pictures. I enjoy these threads for the comic relief.
I used high tech image processing technology to grow and enhance the images and then wrote a program to traverse through thousands of coin photos and digitally compare the composition, size, and features of each coin to tell within .000001% accuracy the legitimacy of the coin.
So that's your point. Bait and attack. Does this make you feel better because we didn't like your fake coins?
I like your three cent piece, I have always found them to be an interesting coin. The Indian cent is one of the classics of American coinage, I don't know much about the foreign coins. These are nice collectable coins that deserve discussion. If this is leading to the 1776 coin being real because it was with these, it doesn't work tht way. Many accumulations of genuine coins I have seen also contain tokens, counterfeits and replicas. If I found an apple in a bag of potatoes, it would still be an apple.
Are these the coins rescued from the Titanic by Matthew Boulton when it was sunk near Hong Kong in 1992?
No, they were all chopmarked yong hong by Matthew Boulton in the presence of Ben Franklin. Ben Franklin shipped all to China, but at the last minute, William Murdock of County Antrim intercepted them on his pirate ship and gave them to his uncle. Unfortunately, they were lost for over 100 years, and another William Murdoch's took them, bound for America. His great-uncle stopped the coins from travelling on the Titanic and commanded a great iceberg to destroy the ship and cause the second Wm Murdoch's death. And thus irisheyes has a accurate and unassailable account of how these coins came into her possession. How dare anybody say it ain't so!
