<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2541355, member: 10461&quot;]Having owned exactly <i>one</i> piece of Swedish plate money ever (and that a sea-salvaged 1750 4-daler piece from the <i>Nicobar</i> shipwreck), I can say that I see no <i>obvious</i> red flags here as far as authenticity goes, but take my limited experience with a grain of salt.&nbsp; I shall defer to those with wider and/or more specialized experience on these.</p><p><br /></p><p>Seems to me that if the Chinese or somebody wanted to fake these, they could, pretty easily, but that being said, I think they&#039;re esoteric enough that perhaps not many people have bothered.&nbsp; I would <i>imagine</i> that counterfeits on these are not a huge problem, though I could of course be wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>These are, of course, extremely cool monster &quot;coins&quot; in a similar theme to Yap stone money, though of course more metallic and affordable.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS- For what it is worth, <a href="http://www.swedishcoppers.com/PlateMoney.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.swedishcoppers.com/PlateMoney.html" rel="nofollow">here is a &quot;Swedish Coppers&quot; page I Googled up</a> when I was remembering the name of that shipwreck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
