French indochina 20 centiemes 1909
Traghan replied to Traghan's topic in US, World, and Ancient Coins
I definitely am skeptical, but those dimples if you notice are on the numismatic 1899 coin & the 1909 coin pic I posted. So if they faked these, then they were pretty thorough to add those dimples that were on several of the original real coins. I’ll try to weigh them, but I know there not magnetic & are silver, so I’ll find my scales & let you know. Weird coin to fake though & doesn’t make much sense. Thank you for helping me figure this out… I’m trying my best to make sure. I need to invest in those X-ray metal laser guns & it could confirm immediately. They’re just so expensive. I’ll let you know the weight. But look at those originals I posted & you’ll see the dimples… I have a feeling you’re right about them being fake, I had to order another scale, lost mine, but I’ll let you know what I find out Mike. Thank you so much for helping me. So weird though they’re choose these to fake, but nothing surprises me anymore…. -

French indochina 20 centiemes 1909

Ok, I have two of them. One 1909 & the second 1907. I’ve done the best with my pics I’m getting a new phone soon. They aren’t magnetic & tested as silver so I’m really confused on the reason they faked these, because I honestly think you’re suspicions are right about them being fake. Well, I found on the numismatic site that these were made with many different levels of silver including the amounts mine show, but I don’t understand the reasoning for going through the process to fake this one especially with real metals & you could do so many better coins if you were faking. But, who can explain that because it happens all the time. So do y’all think these are just fakes & not worth grading? Thank y’all for helping me with clarity. -
I’m having difficulty finding information about this coin. Can anyone give me a possible value/grade, is it worth grading? The ones I’ve seen online are expensive but in bad condition. Any help much appreciated. Thank you guys…

This is a lightly struck coin & the date & mint mark are visible, but looks like a mint error. Any info? Unique to me. Appreciate any help. Thank you guys.

All I can say is that it was definitely unopened. The rolls were opened by me & were legit, the man passed about 7 years ago & I bought the rolls from auction & they had never left his safe & I can attest to that because I didn’t open them till after the pandemic, I almost passed away due to Covid. It was a legit estate sale & the CC was real & surprised me as well. I don’t know a lot so I’m going to let Heritage help figure it out as to why. But, thank you for helping me understand, I enjoy this hobby and all those passionate about it. I’ve done this my whole life though & promise it’s not a scam which is sad at how much that’s going around. I hate it & coin collecting is hurting because of it. I appreciate your input! God bless

Thank you Bob! I appreciate you again!

Thanks for your help, I’m familiar with Bob & I’m sure if anyone has seen this he has. I’ve searched the entire internet backwards & forwards for years since I’ve had this Token & nothing. No match ever. I do know the meaning of the word, it’s old English for British, but the alchemical symbol is not a brothel token because the horseshoe is upside down if you turn it to look like a heart which they wouldn’t do because it negates bad luck. So, I’ve tried to decipher the symbol & it has similar Alchemical symbols, the closest is a Illuminati tattoo that matches it & looks like the symbol exactly. Very strange & obscure since I’ve collected all my life & this one has no tracing. Maybe meeting tokens handed out to invites. I would estimate the date based on age to the 1950’s.
