<p>[QUOTE="newcoinboy, post: 1687174, member: 28702"]Hi Everyone, I Have visted a additional two Jewerly stores today along with two other coin shops, And I would Like to appologise, The jewerlly store i went to yesterday did not perform any test and was untruthful about the coin material, I stopped there as well today after visting the two other stores and spoke with the manager and was basically told we dont have time to look at coins ect, we sell jewerly. So Basically the guy took the coin into the back for a few min and returned and said yes it was gold and it didnt way much just to get me out f the shop. I appologise and am as well very upset about this as it has made me look like a fool to everyone here on this sight. Any Way The Other store i Vistited believe it is made of a Bronze material, The Offical weight is 0.5 grams. The Two Coin Shops both estimated Date Range to be 1300's to 1500's and that to be of Spanish, British and or possible Jerulism coinage, but where unable to tell unless they sent it out or where able to study it for great lengths of time. I have taken some more photos and scans of the coin and also included another coin which was found close to this one that appears to be copper and is showing corrosion and tarish, and a wheat penny for size. Which clearlly shows more detail and wear can be seen. Know Since the coin shows detail but letters and reverse are not to ledigable, would it be wise to place a piece of paper over the coin and use a pencil to shade the impression to try to get some detail or possible letters or date? And What kind of value would this coin bring if sold? [ATTACH]254069.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]254070.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]254071.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]254072.vB[/ATTACH]Thank You all again for all ur help, and again i appogise for the incorrect and misleading information ealier posted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
