Two more counterfeit coppers

[bula]

I went back to the spot where I found the counterfeit 1786 Vermont copper & came up with two more coins. A 1788 common wealth & a 1652 newengland:an:dom masath?set.in both are clearly stamped copy. I think the law was passed in 1973 that required all replicas to be stamped so I know the last two are newer but the 1786 Vermont? still wondering how old it is. For you experts out there are these three coins worth anything? I have seen a replica like the 1788 mass for sale for around $20.00 but can find nothing for the other two. sorry about the size of the pics.

Everything has a price, you asked if they are worth anything "YES" they are! How much you might ask can't tell ya I don't own them.

Well that pretty obviously makes the Vermont a more modern fake, unfortunately. There is no value for the ones stamped copy, at least worth mentioning, and even if the VT dates older, a collector would probably only pay well for a primo example. It's too bad but now at least we know.

PS... I seen a horrible very modern fake Colonial sold as a fake, as it had the word "FAKE" in the title, and people still bid it up to over $70. Some things you can't explain so even if your coins aren't really worth anything, there's people out there that for some reason bid on this stuff sometimes.

I think these coins are beautiful, counterfeit or not!

Like Antiquarian said, they are nice additions to your collection. They still tell a story as to how they got there.

They are cool to look at & most likely the best I will find here in the west for this type of coin.
