    1652 schilling believe oak tree. I don't think this is authentic... usually not that lucky and something seems off on the lettering type...and possible casting indicators.
    Anyone have a value if this is a good fake?
    Believe it is silver, half the thickness of a quarter, and weighs 4.37 grams.
    Third pic shows edge and possible casting indicators?

    Fake, and not a good one. Looks like a cast counterfeit and lettering is way off from a real piece. Possibly a tourist trinket?

    That's a bad fake truly doubt its silver,ask this question.What would be the point to make a fake coin with silver. if it cost you an extra 5 bucks(more or less)for each one.The quarter right next to it you have is silver;);)value?if you can destroy it.

    It might be silver plated...used microfile and acid test on the filings.... stayed red. But since now I'm 100% it's fake instead of 98% I'll go ahead and really rip into it. Stay tuned lol.. got a nice hot fire going do let's melt her down

    That is a really poor fake. Here's real one that was struck off-center.
