Guest maxie121 Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 Hi there,My daughter bought a collection of coins from a car boot sale , and in with all the pennies etc we found a George II shilling dated 1747.Although it looks very old it is very clean and shiny, is there a way of telling if it is a reproduction.Many thanksDebbie(Maxie 121) Quote
Chris Perkins Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 You should be able to post a picture here using the 'You may attach a file to this message.' option when you post.I know that reproductions of that kind of thing exist, and they are usually crude. The real thing should be real silver, and the fact that it is clean and shiny is not good news even if it is a real one.Need to see a picture really. Quote
Guest maxie121 Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 Thanks chrisI will post a photo as soon as i have taken and downloaded onedebbie Quote
Chris Perkins Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 Right you are then.You may find scanning it works better, if you have a scanner. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 Hmmmm, a bit blurry, but I would say that it looks like a repro to me. I'm sure a couple of other members will have opinions too.If you can send it to me and enclose £5.00 to cover the recorded postage back to you and a couple of quid for myself, I should be able to tell you for sureThanks, Quote
Guest maxie121 Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 Many Thanks,I will try to get it to you soon , but as you say , It does look like a repro.Debbie Quote
