tokenswanted tokenswanted Just got here Registered: 11/29/11 Posts: 1	Hello everyone, I'am trying to find out if I've a struck copy or a real Continental dollar coin. It weighes 17.3 grams and measures about 39mm in size. It also has a twin leaf design on the edge of the coin. I have photo's available. Any help would be great. Thanks, Bob Edited by tokenswanted (11/29/11 10:27 PM)

We need photos, but I suspect they will merely confirm that the "coin" is fake. _________________________ Proud EX-50% owner of the banned PCGS-certified Norweb/non-Norweb Wood Hibernia My posts express my PERSONAL opinions ONLY.

There are just too many copies out there. I’ve known dealers who thought they knew what they were doing in this area who got caught. I’d also advise you have a very fat checking account. These coins go for five figure prices quite easily, and I’m talking well north of $10,000. I’d also be careful about the price you pay. A dealer, who thought I’d just dropped off the turnip truck, quoted me over a $150,000 each for two he had that were not Mint State or anything that special so far as the grades went. I didn’t know that I looked to that stupid to other people. $;\)$ _________________________ -- Retired dealer. I am a numismatic author. I specialize in choice early coins and poltitical tokens.

That is a cast copy, and worth a dollar or two at most. _________________________ I reserve the right to change my mind with new facts, experience, opinions, or viewpoints.
