Guest colocomp_I'm_a_Guest Posted September 5, 2004 Posted September 5, 2004 Hello, my nephew found what we think is an English cross penny (see picture)He found it on a farm in Colorado U.S., very remote location. It does appear to be real gold as far as we can tell, it does not leave a streak of lead on white paper.Any help is great appreciated.Wayne Quote
Sylvester Posted September 5, 2004 Posted September 5, 2004 Looks more silver to me...Anyhow that looks much more Spanish in origin than English.GD would know more about this than myself...My feeling is it's Spanish (the cross makes me think that), if it's real, or whatever. I'm afraid i've never one before. Quote
Sylvester Posted September 5, 2004 Posted September 5, 2004 Sorry i couldn't be any more help here. Quote
Guest colocomp_I'm_a_Guest Posted September 5, 2004 Posted September 5, 2004 Thanks, you actually were a help, I think it is a Spanish or Mexican - Consolacion 8 Reales -I think the flash on the camera brightened out the gold tone on the coin.I am googling it more thank you. Quote
Sylvester Posted September 5, 2004 Posted September 5, 2004 Yeah coins sometimes look very different on photos than they do in person! I've seen copper ones look almost silver on photos and silver ones look almost gold! Quote
