Video showing the one reale pistareen is counterfeit

Its definitely a cast fake. Very strange. I dont know anything about platinum except that people faked coins out of it because platinum was not a desirable metal back then. Its hard for me to understand a modern fake 1738 half pistareen in that yard.

Its definitely not platinum. I have no clue why this coin was there or why it would have been made to begin with.
 
Thanks for going to the trouble to prove to me that I was wrong :laughing7: I am sincere though, I like proof and that's pretty tough to argue with.

Back to the topic, I've now seen it all. :oLike gwdigger, I'm at a loss trying to figure out what its there for or what it could be made of to be the correct size AND the correct weight. I would think that aluminum would be way too light :dontknow:

No problem, I should have posted better pics then you would have been able to tell it was a fake. I have no clue why this coin would have been made. It sure does look like its aluminum but I agree it should weigh less if it is :dontknow: Best of luck to ya HH
