Make sure it is actually at least AU and not cleaned or it is not worth $4.
If it is a fake, it is a darn good one. I would be careful with it and have it authenticated. If genuine it would be worth at least a couple...
Fifty stars on the flag, can't be too old! Doubtful there is any value, as stated there were so many private medals made.
Unfortunately it is not a 1652 New England coin. It may be a counterstamped Spanish coin. Larger photos showing more detail may help.
The Confederate coin appears to be a replica. What errors are you seeing?
I've yet to see a Liberty cap cent I didn't like! Congratulations.
Yeah, we are still waiting!
Rosa Americanas and Connecticut coppers. Sometimes other things catch my eye, but these are the ones I am working on.
I agree, it does appear to be a cast copy. Check the edge for a seam, definitely a copy if there is one. You can also weigh the coin, if genuine...

I don't know of any documentation, but no question that is a copy. As you state it is base metal with a copper coating which is flaking off. The...
Conder is right, I have seen quite a few of these replica Massachusetts coins with the "R". The genuine coins do not have it.
Now that is a match. There were too many differences to explain away with wear and die state. I was pretty sure from the start that the obverse...
I guess I may be blind and brain dead, but I am still dubious. Oh well I have been called worse!
When I saw him a year ago with hair cut short and shaved, I didn't recognize him. Happy to see he is returning to his old self!
Not even sure if Chris Young is a member, but he is good. If Dave Palmer and Will Nipper agree it looks promising.
Does PCGS attribute Connecticuts? I have only seen them labeled "draped bust Left". I would let someone like Chris Young look at it. Or post a...
I realize die state and wear can distort details, but I am afraid I am just not seeing it. The angle of the A on yours seems quite different than...
Separate names with a comma.
