<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 4522254, member: 101855&quot;]The &quot;1800 dollar&quot; is a counterfeit that has been in &quot;underground&quot; collector circulation for many years. One of the ways to tell a real coin from a fake one is to know what the real thing looks like. Here is a genuine 1800 Bust Dollar.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1120312[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1120313[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>You second item appears to be a modern copy of what might be an anceint coin. This is not my area so one of the ancient coin experts might be able to help you further. I can only tell that the &quot;fabric&quot; or look of the piece is not right for that era.</p><p><br /></p><p>The &quot;3&quot; on the 1943 cent is very distictive. Its tail reaches down below the plane of the date. If you don&#039;t see that on a potential &quot;1943 copper cent&quot; you don&#039;t have a genuine piece. Here is a 1943 cent. Note how the date looks.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1120314[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1120315[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
