That is some remarkable modeling. One would almost mistake those for photographs of the real thing. Almost. I'll bet that was a lot of fun.
Photos are a bit dark. The brighter metal showing on the shield lines indicates the coin got a bit too hard of a rub there, and there's some...
Corrosion. I agree with @paddyman98. I too have seen copper plated zinc cents with that appearance after they were in saltwater beach sand.
I notice the new Herod Antipas(-to) front and center! Yay! :snaphappy::D
<heavenly choir> Congratulations! </heavenly choir> [ATTACH] (No elliptical selection tool in MS Paint, so your coin got a wee bit shaved, I'm...
They generally run $500+ on up into the low four figures. Mine cost me $391.20, so I was happy to get a nice piece with an attractive portrait...

If it's one ounce, you're talking about a Silver Eagle bullion coin, not a Walking Liberty (which refers to the half dollar which originated that...
Great find! Just four years too early! ;) What sort of signal range on your meter? The US half dimes I've found were all rather "pulltabby"...
And then there is Herod Antipasto. [IMG] Oh, there goes LordM with the food jokes, again. Sheesh! :rolleyes:
Love that Morgan! For some weird reason, I'd rather collect them like that than in Mint State! Not that I've ever collected Morgan dollars....
Cyprus again. 18 piastres this time. Keep the unusual denominations coming. [IMG]
Almost 52 years. Haven't had that first drink yet. Not immune to getting older, unfortunately. I want the wisdom and all that, but give me my...
Jacob- here's a post that should give a general idea of how tiny an ancient Greek electrum hekte (or hecte) is. They're adorable little things....
