Are those your pictures? I'm just curious cause that seems like a really good shot.

 

Regardless, pictures of a coin that resemble yours but aren't yours are worthless because counterfeits are all over the place.

 

I think it's Portugese and here's a little about the words on it:

Portugal
4000 Réis (Gold .917)
1683-1706

This is my coin thanks

 

First off test against a magnet then weigh it, it should be 10.76 grams.
Yours looks as if it has been coated with something in the second pic.

 

The color looks like a bronze token.

 

weighed on my kitchen scales showing at 11 g not magnetic thanks

 

not bronze Prestons did confirm it was gold and offered me scrap value thanks

 

Have you ever sold on eBay? Any Feedback? If not, selling a choice medieval gold coin is not the way to start. Maybe some other more active members can help you find recent auction records for this coin.

Do you happen to know if your coin is treasure-trove from a sunken ship?

 

no idea where it has come from, it was left to my husband by an uncle need an idea of any coin shops etc, we can perhaps sell it, feel that it would be worth more as a coin rather than scrap value, do you think a museum would tell us more thanks

 

A great place to start:

I am sorry. I got a bit giddy with my replies and missed my punctuation. Thanks xx

 

You make me feel bad now I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be so harsh.

 

The auction records are key, not what some coin shop says; you've already gotten a lowball offer from one outfit...

Come back 9 to 11pm when there's more action and more commentary. So far, you've gotten a very good description (for future reference), now to "zero in" on retail and auction prices. Unless you simply gotta have $$$ tomorrow, you won't be selling the coin across the counter.

 

here is 1 simular to yours in a completed auction but a different date ... Ebay link:http://www.ebay.com/itm/1689-PORTUG...1573046?pt=US_World_Coins&hash=item1c467b58b6
not sure what your coins grade is ? do NOT take scrap metal price for it.

 

opps nevermind. different reverse coin. I will investigate your coin more. brb.

 

Bad new, your coins a fake the first coin is your, the second one is the real deal
