1786 vermont real or fake

[bula]

I went out yeaterday & found this coin it is a 1786 vermont. I have never seen one of these so I would like some input on how to tell if it is real. I have seen some coins that are copy but they alway's have copy stamped into them.

Is there any way to tell the difference?

For someone like Tony C. it will be easier to say if it's modern because chances are he would be able to match it to a reproduction he has seen. If it's contemporary, and unless he has seen the same coin before, which I would say is more unlikely, he might have to see it in person to make the call. It will be interesting what he has to say.

Considering you found other modern fakes I don't know if there's much point going forward with this one. Having said that, Tony Carlotto is an expert and we are not, so his opinion is the one that really counts.

Hey Guys, Sorry I dropped the ball a little bit on this one. Tony's shop is closed on Mondays, so I will get in touch with him on Tuesday and have him look at this coin. I'm sure he'll be happy to. Hogge
