    Hi all. I'm a first time visitor to this site and only accidentally found you because I was googling New England & Pine Tree. I don't own any coins, but I do collect cufflinks. I had one that I could never figure out the lettering on until today. After reading about another post I found a picture at Coin Help that looks identical to mine. What I think now is that this could be an authentic coin that was for some absurd reason turned into a cufflink. I can see the lettering underneath where the buttonhole attachment was fastened to the coin.

    Can anyone tell me if this is an authentic coin, and if it has any value even though it has been turned into a cufflink? I only have one. Thanks!

    Welcome dijaan. Very interesting piece there. I am looking forward to hearing the responses from the early coinage characters.

    Looks to be a reproduction. The pebbly surfaces are a good indication.

    I agree with it being a repro, there are many times more repros than there are genuine coins.
