<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1529874, member: 26302&quot;]I am far from an expert in these, but appreciate the work Mark did on these. These coins have been faked for decades, or more than a century even. There have even been more &quot;legitimate&quot; fakes like the press in AR that made these with the word &quot;COPY&quot; on them. Since it is such a highly faked item, for so long, the ONLY way I would ever say one &quot;looked good&quot; is if I could die match it. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am with you H8 Modern that many times we are too quick to judge fake here, but especially in this case I think it must be assumed fake and proven good. I would say the same with a Continental Currency dollar, many other colonial patterns, Willow tree coinage, and of course items like brasher doubloons, 1804 dollars, etc. Some things just have been copied so much that there are 100 times more fakes than authentic examples, and this is one such coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
