<p>[QUOTE=&quot;UnknownUnknowns, post: 1885924, member: 68031&quot;]This weekend, a young local man in the Philippines sold me this coin on the street he said his dad recovered, presumably diving or treasure hunting.&nbsp; I passed on a couple Morgans he also had since I know what those are worth and they are kind boring.</p><p><br /></p><p>I paid less than the probable silver value.&nbsp; I do not buy numismatics usually -- I stick to bullion -- but I thought it would be fun to see what the story is with this.&nbsp; Little did I know it is both the most counterfeited and in genuine form, one of the rarest coins.&nbsp; Looking at other replicas, it seems to be of better quality than most and comparable in many ways to the known originals on wikipedia.&nbsp; To my untrained eye, it falls a little short on the stars (smaller), the nose (not quite as finely shaped) and the olive branch. (leaves not quite perfect)&nbsp; Still better than the other replicas online.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will take it by one of my dealers to check the metal content but does anyone know if this has any collectable value?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
