Matt_dac Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 The only way to legitimize a coin for widespread potential sale is to get it professionally graded. Submit your coin to NGC or PCGS if you're confident it's real. Sachin singh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a coin of 1777 that i inspect from a Goldsmith that it is a gold coin and you all people are saying that it is a game play coin or it is a bronze coin. What you people want that i should go and clean this coin and then it will shine like a gold coin. And the most interesting fact is that we never travels too much and this coin was here from starting and the Britishes came in 1700's and we never go to Britain. And India was a, is a cultural country not a game play coin country. Yes i will send it to you You're welcome for the suggestions, but if you keep believing that this is a coin or has value, you are going to waste a lot of money. Please take a look at the other time an object like yours came up; I provided the link. It is not gold; gold does not wear like that as it is far too soft. It is also not from 1777; the date is either a fantasy or intended to have some historical reference as the obverse is an extremely crude copy of Marianne from late 20th century French coinange, see https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces2.html for an example. It is definitely meant to look French. While I was looking at the reverse having something in common with older Germanic tokens, I do not think this is accurate as it's not a good fit otherwise, and similar ships show up in some French tokens. I understand the thrill of finding something that seems really rare or unusual; however, the people on this forum are experienced and they're all saying basically the same thing. You need to carefully consider that before you waste money having this authenticated. That being said, I and some others like trying to figure out puzzles about where something came from. I've given you everything I've found to date and wish you luck if that's your path forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare your piece to other gold coins. Yours does not have an issuing government, or denomination, or name of the person being pictured, or any other feature normally found on a legitimate coin, aside from a date which may or may not be the actual date of issue, (and, my money is on it not being the actual date.) If you really believe it is gold, take it to a jewelry store and have it tested. Heck, take it to four or five jewelry stores. Get all of them to test it If it is gold, sell it. If it is not, then use it to level your refrigerator or stop your table from wobbling. I had a coin like this What should I do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James_OldeTowne Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 The OP item appears to be a game token to me, one of any millions of different ones out there, and made of common (NOT gold) metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure you can sell it if you can find someone willing to buy it. But it is still just a brass counter of some kind, not a coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
