[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2844332, member: 112"]I guess I should add at least this much. The one coin, it looks like traces of silver over copper, and it looks to have been cast. Those two things all by themselves usually only mean one thing - counterfeit. The second, it also looks cast. And by itself is often enough to suspect counterfeit. However, if memory serves there were 1 or 2 French feudal mints that cast coins during times of war. So even though slim, there's still a chance it might be one of them. And, each coin also looks to been heavily clipped, so size and weight won't mean much. All of these things ran through my mind in the first 10 seconds after looking at the coins. But that's about as far as I can go without doing the research. And I don't consider it me putting myself out. That's why I'm here. So don't worry about that.[/QUOTE]
