<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coin Questioner, post: 4272082, member: 111485&quot;]Hi all.&nbsp; I know this is an old thread, and I may not get a response.&nbsp; I have a Continental Curency coin, and I&#039;m trying to figure out if it is real.&nbsp; Not to sell it, but just to know that I may be holding a piece of history in my hands.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have had this coin a LONG time and I couldn&#039;t for the life of me tell you where I got it. One day it showed up and I&#039;ve had it ever since. I&#039;ve had it for 25+ years but cannot explain where I got it.</p><p><br /></p><p>It weighs in at 17 grams.&nbsp; I&#039;ve done the pewter check and it leaves the correct mark for pewter (yes I actually rubbed some of the material off on paper.)&nbsp; It&#039;s only got the one &#039;R&#039; but from my research that doesn&#039;t necessarily mean it&#039;s fake.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is well worn, the way I would expect pewter to be after 300+ years.&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t have the bumps around the edges the way most of the fakes I&#039;ve seen on the net do.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure what else to do to test it.&nbsp; Any help would be appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m attaching Pics.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1cJyrs7u8O2Qp-eHUokGUFRaJ3LDnbq2J" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xtjPIQHBt0YUeiL0e2HOvOF8ANvz76fn" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1T3VeY55AeRPGXILV_b0mjDCFshbQs0OM" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
