Message:: [QUOTE="Brett h, post: 2360481, member: 77530"]Hi I have no idea about coins, I recently purchased a house in Australia that had a large tin of coins in the shed that the previous owner wasn't interested in. I have done a few hours of reading and have ruled out a few things that would suggest the coins are fake, I am banking on the fact they are but wanted to make sure before I completely ruled them out. There are 4 trade dollars 1875-1878 and two Morgan's 1892s and 1887. I only have scales that go to the gram and each weighed 27g (some flicking from 26 - 27), a magnet did not stick to any. I have checked the features of each and they seem correct, and they are all inverted on the back ( not quite 180 degrees in some cases but very close). There was also a 1935 Daniel Boone half dollar weighing 12 grams, and a magnet did not stick. I have attached photos if anyone could rule them out straight away and I'll put them back in the shed  I go to the states for work on a regular basis and next time I go I'll take them to a coin shop that can have a look at them in person if worthwhile. Many many thanks [ATTACH=full]481381[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]481382[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]481383[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]481384[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]481385[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]481386[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]481387[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]481388[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
