    Hey everyone,

    I inherited a coin collection and was pretty suprised when I saw the dates of these 2 coins. Maybe they are fake, I have no clue and was hoping u guys could give your opinions. I took some (medium quality) photos and measured them, I don't got any equipment to weigh them i'm afraid. Thanks in advance.

    - Maroc coin: 20 mm diametre, 1,2 mm thickness

    Can't help with the first, but the second one is a definite fake.

    Do a forum search on 1752 and you will find a great many threads that explain why that 1752 coin is a fake.

    Hai pal,
    As per your advise i found that ,the 1752 coin is a promotional sale token released by 'READER DIGEST" organization in the year 1996
    obverse shows the king ruled that years,
    reverse TUDOMINE SPES MEA 1752 which means " Thou lord is my hope ". Thanks GDJMSP for the advise.
