    One I don't know if this is the right thread for this, but I have a 1652 New England coin and I'm not sure it's real or fake. Can anyone help me?

    I think it is fake hex if it is real it's worth at least $500, maybe $3,000-$5,000.

    Crude fake from a souvenir shop, 1950s or 1960s probably.

    agreed-- cast souvenir fake. To see what real ones look like go to the the website/store of "Coin Rarities Online."

    Without question this is a modern reproduction and most likely one of the pieces made for historical societies to sell to tourists for a dollar or so.
