<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nerarities, post: 1042233, member: 26684&quot;]Hi There,</p><p><br /></p><p>Many different replicas can be found of this piece.&nbsp; Museums made thousands and thousands selling them for a few bucks at their gift shops.&nbsp; Also, many cast counterfeits are also known made by dealers/collectors years ago.&nbsp; It is one of the most commonly replicated coins in all of the colonial coin series.&nbsp; In most colonial coin circles, the pieces that have been sold as authentic over the years are now being questioned as to their authenticity.&nbsp; The &quot;authentic&quot; examples that have sold were part of famous collections (Garrett, Norweb) lending to their acceptance as legitimate colonial pieces.&nbsp; Today however, every example I have seen is a replica (99 out of 100) at worst or suspect at best.&nbsp; Your piece seems to be better quality than the $5 museum copies, but most likely is a cast counterfeit/replica made in the 60s-80s for collectors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
