<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 622551, member: 112&quot;]Just about anybody could be responsible for them being in the ground. Think about it - what do you do with a pice of junk ? You throw it away. And what would a person do if they just found out that the coin they have is a fake ? Often they would turn and just throw that fake as far as they could throw it. Thus it ends up in the ground.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, the weight you mention of 3.68 grams is a dead give-away that the coin is fake. Ducats, a coin that I specialized in for many years, were always made, by every country that ever issued them, at 3.5 grams precisely. So it a certainty that one is a fake.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second coin has extremely mushy details and a very rough surface - exactly how a cast fake looks. So even though the weight is correct I am fairly certain that it is a fake as well. For struck coins do not and cannot look like that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
