Can Someone Identify this Coin?

Please don't spend it. Sell it to someone.

Let's see. I will visit a pawn shop next Sunday. Thanks anyway.

 

Let us know how you do...hmmm, you could save it and turn into a coin collector...

 

Oh! Thanks. I'll visit a pawn shop next Sunday, or maybe sell it to a friend.

 

Great idea. I was thinking the same. I already have coins from India and some parts of Europe.

 

We had a posting sometime in the past where a guy tried to get a drivethrough to accept a $50 one-ounce gold (American Gold Eagle) and they wouldn't.

 

I love Indian coins...show us some pictures.

 

A pawn shop might not give you even $10 for it. Take it to a coin shop where thay deal in precious metals. There you might get about $15.

 

Look closer, folks....

 

Thanks. I'll make sure of that.

 

Is this like the "Find The Pope In The Pizza" contest?

 

At present I just have two Indian coins. Here are their pics:





I also have the new Rs.10 coin. I'll upload them tomorrow.

 

Does it look real to you?

 

It feels real by weight. By look, I'm not sure. That's why I'll take it to a coin shop to find out.

 

Don't know what was showing when this thread was originally posted, but the images I see now are a clear fake. The date looks nothing like the date on a real American Silver Eagle.

Have you checked whether it's attracted to a magnet? (If it looks like "the silver is scraping off" and it's brown underneath, it might be copper instead of iron.)

Don't try to spend it. Selling fake coins to other collectors is one thing; spending counterfeit money is something else entirely, and gets the attention of the authorities very quickly.

 

Thanks I'll surely take your advice.

 

Although the design is modeled after a silver eagle your coin is a copy meant to fool someone. I would doubt that it is even silver.

 

Indeed, and for what it's worth, it appears to have the old style U on UNITED, at least to my eye and from what I can see in the photo.

 

Well, I was fooled. That's why I buy only from reputable and trusted sources.

 

Yup! I've learnt this lesson now.
