REAL OR FAKE?
By anatah_qatar •
Does anyone knows if these coins are fake or real?
My mom once thought of cleaning all her old coins been burried in her case long time. when after brushing (using steel brush), some of them appears to have a shiny silverlike metal. i am not into collecting old items but if it's real then i could preserve its value or to hand it over to someone who love to collect such things.
yeah right,, such information made my nose bleed ;).. Really it's an additional knowledge... but re strike and fake are totally the same as how i understand it. better not to sell it... such a waste of time..
aha,, ok so means like they were just imitations of the real one? Great Info... anyway if i were you, i will not go behind fakes and buy them. after all it has no value if its fake so no use of spending money. ;) thanks for the information anyway.. and sorry if we disappointed you after we decided not to sell it as per your offer.
Yours are real, but restikes I think.? what does this means?
Uploaded clearer photo of the 1799 coin which reached at maximum selling price of 21,000 qar on ebay. . I believe it's real as you can see the full details but I don't know how I could get a certificate like pcgs in qatar
I actually don't care of it's value as "notes".. i care of it's authenticity and would love to give it to someone who loves to collect such things even for free if i feel they deserve to have them.. and could preserve it more than my mom do. i don't want to keep it on the box for another hundred years :) .. i have more or less hundred of different old coins and paper notes.
it is available with me as i was planning to bring it to my friend in Jordan to check its authenticity. my mom never thought of its value, just she wants to put her collection in an album after cleaning and keep as display at home as this coins are over 200 years of age. i am aware of the liberty coin 1799 on ebay but those japanese and chinese like coins put me some interest to know where it actually came from and how old this coins are?
Collector's coins should never be cleaned, especially not with a steel brush. If they are real it would dramatically reduce their value.
They look real... Being a collector , I would also like to add them to my collection, if still available.
Fake or real I will take it.
