Its definitely not platinum. I have no clue why this coin was there or why it would have been made to begin with.gwdigger said: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.

I am sincere though, I like proof and that's pretty tough to argue with.
Like 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 
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 isumrgolf said:Thanks for going to the trouble to prove to me that I was wrongI am sincere though, I like proof and that's pretty tough to argue with.
