<p>[QUOTE=&quot;utopos, post: 2861783, member: 83865&quot;]Came upon this at some street bazaar, foreign vendor, seemed to have no idea about the value of coins as they were rather randomly stored either loose (like this) or in a paper viewing case or maybe it was the ruse. I understand the probability is higher than not that its a replica or fake, but would like some opinions before I decide on an action.</p><p><br /></p><p>Knowns:</p><p>- &quot;Curency&quot;, not &quot;currency&quot;</p><p>- 16.8 grams</p><p>- Rather lustrous (which means it could be fake?)</p><p>- Non magnetic</p><p>- Slightly bent it seems</p><p>- Slightly scratched it seems</p><p>- Distinct indentation on the front (1776 side) between N &amp; T and also on the inner most line</p><p>- Some permanent mark in the inner compass</p><p>- No replica signs anywhere that I can identify</p><p>- Letters are worn down in places where they can barely be read, even on an angle</p><p>- Picture looks more grainy than in person</p><p>- Backside N is small, not large</p><p>- Edge is pretty flat all around, only one spot around the entire edge has a little raised line that goes only a short distance</p><p>- No visibly signs of copy or replica that I can see[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
