<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BostonCoins, post: 1680090, member: 34720&quot;]Hello everyone! This is a re-posting of an older thread I started last year. I never received any answers, so I thought I&#039;d throw it out again here! Maybe the people that have information missed it back then!</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyhow, I purchased two &quot;coins&quot; from another site. They were advertised as copies, and I purchased them with that knowledge knowing I could never afford the real deals.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyhow, I picked up a Continental Dollar, and a 1652 XII Pine Tree Shilling. The Continental Dollar is of the Becker series from the 1960&#039;s, and has BECKER stamped into the RIM. Picture of the dollar. Pretty neat specimen... Love to add it to the collection.</p><p>[ATTACH]251517.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyhow, with that dollar coin, I also received a 1652 XII Pine Tree shilling. The seller believed it was also a Becker copy, but wasn&#039;t sure. I&#039;ve searched and searched for Becker information on line, and have gotten exactly SQUAT on it. I then researched real Pine Tree designs and variations looking to see which variety was used to make this coin.... I&#039;m just not having any luck with this darn thing. </p><p><br /></p><p>In the end, no doubt, it&#039;s a fake.... The chances of me finding a legit Pine Tree for under $10 is slim to none... i realize that. I&#039;d just like some more info on it if anyone can help! Is it a Becker copy? If so... was it the 60&#039;s run? OR... could it be some copy from an older source? Where COPY is not stamped into it, I know it&#039;s pre 1973... </p><p><br /></p><p>Help please!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]251518.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
