<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 819698, member: 9474&quot;]Can anyone share any info on these. A friend of mine gave one of these two me without any history on he acquired the other than he has had for a long time.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I started to do some digging around on the internet only to find that these coins were mass counterfeited.&nbsp; Is there a good website to help me determine if the one I have is legit or a fake?&nbsp; I did find one site that has some good info, but not the detailed info that I was looking for.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>THe coin I have has the bust of Maximilian facing to the left with Maximiliano Emperador on the obverse and the Mexican Eagle on the reverse with the date 1865 below the eagle&#039;s perch. Also says Imperio Mexicano on the reverse above the Eagle.&nbsp; You nearly need a 16x loupe to really look at this coin because it is so small.&nbsp; My findings yielded many, many die cracks all throughout the coin which I understand is typical for a small coin like this.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for any help that if offered.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
