[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1460722, member: 75105"]Today I visited a vendor while I was set up at a flea market. I found a ton of old coins dirt cheap (see other thread). However I found this one coin for $15, and got it for $8 as part of a "package deal". This fellow was pretty set on prices for us coins, but knew little about world and old coins, like me:D. However I was attracted to the 1794 date, and for $8 I couldn't go wrong. So I go back to my stand, and look this coin up. Come to find out, it's a 1794 Franklin Press Token. One coin, in poorer condition, sold for $275. But with any valuable coin, many fakes exist. Please help me decide if this is the real deal. I think it is, but want a second opinion.
