<p>[QUOTE=&quot;shadaw, post: 1808714, member: 27036&quot;]I really strongly believe this coin is a fake. It doesn&#039;t seem to have a gold luster to it. The back design looks wrong due to research I&#039;ve attempted on this coin. There is differences in the crown from what I&#039;ve seen in photos. I&#039;m hoping that it might just be that it was a bad dye they used but I find that unlikely. Every coin I have looked at doesn&#039;t look exactly like the one i have in design.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe its a Escudos coin but then why on the back does it say 8 S and not E?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not an expert and would like opinions. I&#039;m taking the coin to a jeweler today to see if she can tell me if it actually has gold encase the gold has just tarnished or if its some base metal. It kind of looks goldish in places but I&#039;m not holding out much hope.</p><p><br /></p><p>If it&#039;s a fake I didn&#039;t get harmed too badly I paid a dollar for it, and it&#039;s still a very neat looking coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
