1776 Continental Currency- Real or Fake??
in US, World, and Ancient Coins
Posted
Hi, I have a coin my father found when I was young, I have had it for over 40 yrs. I am not sure how to tell if it is a fake. Unfortunately about 15 yrs ago my father in law cleaned it using baking soda and water. I later read that you should never clean a coin. Not sure if that has affected the color on the patina. I can’t tell if this coin is silver or pewter. I weighed it yesterday and it comes in at 19. Can someone tell if this coin is a fake?
