<p>[QUOTE="sdservices, post: 2874488, member: 90411"]I thank you for your help. I have an appointment this week with someone to look at it in person who has experience with this type of coin. It was found on my property so I had not thought it a fake. It was buried in a deteriorated metal box with others but perhaps you are right. I know the photography is not very good and it seems quite worn to me (making it hard to read details). If it is a pillars and waves cob it would have been minted before 1773 and would naturally be worn with use especially if it is silver of that era. I suppose testing the metal will tell a lot as well. At this point a physical examination seems to be the next step to know one way or another. I will be happy to let you know his opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
