Hmmmmmm - if 58, 60, 62, 63, 64 are all way off, and given that second obv shot - reckon I'll have to guess it's in a Genuine holder.
I'd forgotten all about him, haven't seen or heard from him in years. I believe I taught him that technique ! If you still see him Chris, tell him...
You have look closely at the small details of the design. In particular look at the denticles on yours. You should see a vast difference.
I think it's pretty much well accepted that China had coins long before there even was a Lydia, but I agree that most literature will tell you...
I believe your coin is a fake copy of this one - http://www.coinfactswiki.com/wiki/Mexico_1757-Mo_MM_4_escudos

The weight you report, 8.2gm, is a little light. The correct weight should be 8.359gm. Couple that with the look of the coin and I think you have...
Apparently you guys think you just ignore my instructions ? That's how people get banned around here - they ignore warnings and infractions just...
Oh well heck if that's all it is, just tell her I said it was OK ;)
For the record - anybody, and everybody, that breaks the rules suffers the consequences. And contrary to rumor Lehigh was not permanently...
Honestly - pretty much all non-collectors think the whole lot of us (coin collectors) are Loonie Toons anyway. As for the those responding...
