Like regular coins, contemporary counterfeits are valued based on the market for the specific country/type and rarity. It's not all that uncommon...
If it actually is solid silver, that would be unusual. Most fakes of these coins are an alloy that looks vaguely silverish. It hasn't had harsh...
Looks to me like a modern copy. The surface has not been sandblasted. The way the ear stands out untouched proves it. I believe this piece may...
Seems like they got it all wrong. =)
Judging by the weight mine would be the denar. Thanks again for coming to the rescue DCH =)
Thanks Chris and DCH, I didn't even know where to start with this early piece. =)
Sorry to correct you conder, but mine is the same type as these 7 from a 2006 Stack's auction. They are described as Jamieson figure 5 and Betts...

Is it really small in size? Looks like German spiel-munze (play money).
Lol, it's not that serious man. If you felt I was being rude, oh well. I was making an honest statement about how what you are inquiring about...
Coins struck on punched blanks sometimes have a rim burr, which can slightly increase the weight.
One guy, coming out of nowhere, offering to transport someone's high end coins. Need I say more?
Can you post clear pics of the validation marks on the long sides of the edge?
It depends more on the demand than the supply. If you have a lot of collectors, even fairly common coins end up being valuable. And if you have...
Late 1800's South African coins with Kruger on them are notorious for circular lathe marks.
That's unusual it would be considered rare, various over-dates and letters are pretty rampant on Mexican coins like these, even well into the 1800's.
