[QUOTE="the old west, post: 304502, member: 11349"]the facts: 1) there was a house on this site in the late 1800s 2) the house was destroyed sometime pre 1950 3) since then there's been nothing but forests surrounding the site of the house 4) my mom routinely finds old pieces of glass here 5) she found a coin in the dirt here it's silly to think it's fake. it's obviously been in the weather for many many decades. if it's a "fake" it's an original fake from the 1870s. no one has anything to gain at this point from it being counterfeit. in its advanced state of wear, it's not worth anything, fake or real, other than the sentimental value of finding something so old. the bottom line is that this is a RURAL area, a long, long way from any kind of city. there havent been any humans living here for half a century. i can't articulate it any more clearly that it's real. it's not like it's a 500 dollar value item, it's worth nothing, so arguing over its authenticity is silly.[/QUOTE]
