Funny how that 1901 Brazilian 100 reis fits in so well with the liberty nickels :)
Yup
I have a few hundred pounds worth saved up from mixed lots that I didn't exchange or sell back when it was higher :(
Better than finding a dollar :)
Nice group... please do all of us a favor and take this valuable key date out of the mixed lot and put it in a protective sleeve or holder :)...
Details are too perfect for a jeton. Can't say for sure, but if this was offered to me with the same description, I'd be interested.
As someone who also sits on newly listed BINs, fakes are part of the game. You can take time to do some research and avoid buying a fake, but also...
Could certainly be '59. Definitely one of the two. Pareidolia always at play with these things of course :)
This type wasn't made in 1869, if you don't zoom in on the pics you can sort of make out the top of a 1.
Here's what it looks like normally, before all the wear :)...
Austria kreuzer 1861, mint mark not visible.
It's a modern fantasy piece. Machine struck cash coins were not yet a thing at this time. Also, the 4 character inscription is that of the 1644-61...
I believe the museum in Quito houses a gorgeous example of the Moby Dick coin. Take a photo for me if you end up seeing it :)
My bad, didn't initially realize this type is antiqued. The "antiquing" of modern coins makes them look like fakes and messes with your instinct...
Biggest issue appears to be that the coin is a fake.
Can't recall encountering any fakes of these. They are are common in the US as well, which is pretty odd for 700 year old coins from India.
You got the right region, but pretty certain it's well before the 19th century. Maybe a gani denomination? Wish I could help more Edit: Found...
Looks like a Peace dollar in its natural habitat :pompous:
Hold my beer... [ATTACH]
I can see AU. These usually have some weak/flat struck areas, like the hair from the ear to the ponytail.
