Coin replicas or counterfeits? Fake Pattern coins?

4 сообщений • просмотрено 102 раз

I purchased a bunch of coins blindly and mixed in were these large coins from several countries. I've tried to search for them here but could not find exact copies of them. I am certain they are not real as they all weigh about 18 grams each, but I am still curious to learn about them as I find it interesting. Are they counterfeit coins or replicas or what? Where might they have come from? There are not many distinguishing features.

There were no Flowing Hair coins made in 1796 so those are really not counterfeits or replicas.

Same with the Trade Dollar.

The Ellis Island Dollars were made in 1986 not 1906. They could be real but with a manipulated date except obviously not at 18 grams.

 

Maybe the rest have non-existent or altered dates so that's why you can't find them?

Thanks for the input! I researched a bit and I found you can actually buy similar replicas, but the ones I have are extremely poor copies 😂 Perhaps a trick to catch people. Still interesting!
