cast coins are worth millions of dollars

cast coins are worth MILLIONS especially unique cast coins !! LOL !


1787 Brasher Doubloon EB on Breast: George Washington’s goldsmith neighbor cast this coin, modeled after Spanish doubloons. Even though not officially circulated by the U.S. government, the Brasher doubloon is thought to be the first gold coin in America that was denominated in dollars. This coin recently sold for $7.4 million.1907 Double Eagle: This Saint-Gaudens $20 coin, in ultra-high relief, sold for $2.99 million.
1787 Brasher Doubloon EB on Wing: Unlike the Brasher with the stamp on the chest, most of the surviving doubloons cast by the goldsmith have the stamp on the wing. This means that the this type of coin is rarer. However, that didn’t stop one of the coins from selling for $2.415 million.

great answer ..you are very helpful ..

 

Are you cutting and pasting copyrighted material again?

 

no I changed it slightly they said none of the coins i mentioned were cast coins

and I wanted to show them what it said on the website I got the info from

can you give me a reason why my couldnt have been made using the same method they used in the article below



THE EDGE OF MY COIN

A Sheffield plate is a sandwich of two thin layers of silver over a core of brass or copper.

This technique was introduced in Sheffield, England to make inexpensive silver flat ware and got taken over by counterfeiters shortly thereafter.

The silver is usually 0.900 fine so that the surface color was right and the layers were hot or cold welded with high pressure rollers.

The material was drawn out to the proper thickness and cut with a cookie cutter
The edge where there was exposed copper needed some cover up work, but they were very good copies.

Die work was decent - some dies were attributed to Matthew Bolton himself.Attachment 0

The original Birmingham issue (of the two) was done at the outset of the war with Spain (1796). with the indirect support of the English government

 

do you have an answer

 

yes

 

Just because you post the same info in the same thread doesnt mean people will change their mind. If you post better pics you might. And the more you get impatient like you have been the less people will take you seriously. Take my advice. Send it in. eat the 60 bucks, and if its real then you proved this entire community wrong. Get it rejected and dont cry back to us. We have helped you. We can do no more

 

I am not sure where you got your information, but it is incorrect. The Brasher doubloons were not cast, they were struck. Check Breen, Bowers,or any of the numismatic references. I have been following the Brasher coins for years, keeping track of sales and any new information.

 

just google it 10 rare coins worth millions

 

Which one of them is the different one?

 

Uhhhhh...those aren't "thin" layers on your piece. "Thin" layers would be measured in hundreths of not thousandths of an inch.

OLD SHEFFIELD PLATE

The use of "sheffield plate" began in 1742 when Thomas Boulsover, a Sheffield cutler (bladesmith), discovered that a sheet of silver fused to a piece of copper could then be rolled or hammered out without fracturing the bond.
This made possible the use of "plated" base metal, which appeared, outwardly, to be silver, but as the silver "skin" could be only a small proportion of the gauge of the metal the saving in expense was considerable and objects made from the product looked exactly like sterling silver, because the applied 'plate' was indeed sterling.

"Old Sheffield Plate

Old Sheffield plate is now highly sought after due to it's rareity and age, it was only produced in quantity for around 100 years starting during the 1740's. However, more recent electroplated silver and cheaper low quality imports are often passed off as genuine Old Sheffield Plate. Old Sheffield Plate is the process of fusing a layer of silver on to a layer of copper and the process was discovered by accident by Thomas Boulsover in 1742. The process was an instant success, as it allowed silver smiths to produce pieces that had all the attractiveness of silver at a fraction of the cost. One of the drawbacks of Old Sheffield plate is that the silver wears away to reveal the copper underneath. Old Sheffield Plate became obsolete with the arrival of cheaper and easier process of Electroplating in the 1840's."

Something as thick as whats presented on your piece would certainly not "wear" away. At least, not in my opinion.

 

Maybe I'll go to the Yankee's training camp and tell teach them all how to play baseball.
After all, they have been doing it wrong for all of these years.

my coin has a copper core with a thin layer of silver plating ​

 

Would it be out of line to say that I think your comprehension skills have been blinded by your need to validate this piece?

 

nope not out of line
