<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ScotsJohnR, post: 2039894, member: 73061&quot;]Hi,</p><p>I bought some coins on ebay recently: including a gold coloured duit (Utrecht 1790) which you might be able to help me with. </p><p><br /></p><ul> <li>Weighs 3.12g (c.f. 2.84g copper: 3.50g gold)</li> <li>Came in a silver mount with watch glasses encasing the coin front and rear</li> <li>Shaved at the edges (presumably by the jeweller who set it in the mount)</li> <li>Gouged (near stad). Black shiney metal in gouge (not copper red) with gold flecks</li> <li>The helpful ebay seller told me it came with a lot of medals he wanted.</li> <li>In the lot he didn&#039;t explicitly mention this coin</li> <li>1790 Utrecht gold duit isn&#039;t in Krause</li> <li>Worn (in addition to damage) : were these pieces in circulation or were they collectors items?</li> <li>Feels real but is it? Thoughts welcome.</li> </ul><p>Thanks</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/1/7/6/2/5/8/9/webimg/805399899_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/1/7/6/2/5/8/9/webimg/805399816_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/micgwit/4th%20quarter%20ebay%202014/P1110637.jpg~original" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
