craigy Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 what do you guys make of this, real or copy ? Quote
Martinminerva Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Looks fine to me. 1859, which this is, is not noted for having fakes or repros made of it - 1864 is the usual one. To be surer, can you get an accurate weight of it? Quote
Diaconis Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 At first sight looks like a fake to me. - the ‘t’s in tenth also make me suspicious, not pointed as original. Quote
Nick Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) Looks ok to me. The 't's in tenth on some 1859 florins look recut (or otherwise malformed). Edited April 10, 2019 by Nick Added the word 'some'. Not all 1859 florins exhibit this feature. 3 Quote

VickySilver Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 OK, I vote for real deal but cleaned with subsequent oxidation and "cameo" wear. Wish I could post mine, sorry though. Quote
