conrad II 1300 AD probable fake
« on: September 26, 2007, 08:34:22 pm »
picked this up for a few bucks, not really knowing what it was.   but after closer examination,  I am having doubts on this coin
It seem to be a modern copy of a coin of Conrad II   1300 AD ish
weight 2.1 grams ( 0.6 grams lighter that coins listed )  20 mm    Silver in color ( but    humm ?? )  edge is also almost perfectly round
anyone help me out on this ?

Thanks Yafet Rasnal

would you  say modern copies, or encient counterfeit

looking at this coin in hand, I'd say modern copy, but you guys are the experts

thanks again for the help
