<p>[QUOTE="p91, post: 2877721, member: 6174"]Thanks Oldhoopster - that is what I thought too... I have read about even several countries actively producing non-silver counterfeits to hurt the reputation of silver coinage during the Spanish war. (Some of these coins occasionally being more valuable than the authentic ones) The very poor casting, along with the digs made me question modern or contemporary - the seller also sold 2 obviously casted Mexico 8 reales, several US halves all looking like very poorly done. I thought maybe they came from a collection of counterfeits - so I am stuck now trying to determine if these have any historical value, or if they should be returned for a refund. Thanks again[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
