CVarnz Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Second one looks like charles 2 sixpence Quote
Peckris Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Those are crude replicas, age uncertain, of Charles II silver. The first picture looks copper, but it could just be bad photography if the background is the same as the second one. Either way, everything about them screams "wrong". Scrap value only I'm afraid.

Coinery Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Very crude copy, I'd go modern souvenir piece at a guess? Quote
HistoricCoinage Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Yes, pretty poor replicas, I'm afraid. Quote
