    Nice hunt with a few sweet silvers and a cool surprise counterfeit find! Was looking it up and they seemed to from around the 20’s which would definitely explain how the copper is getting pretty roached being in the ground for almost a hundred years. Back in the colonial days here of the 1820’s-30’s, it was found that about half the coins in circulation were counterfeits and private issue tokens which were considered illegal. Always cool to find due to high variation as so many dies were made that wore out quickly. Hope you’re staying cool in the height of summer there. ATB and happy hunting!

      I’m happy to have it, KG5 is roached but you can still faintly see him.. I’ve seen a few of your colonial coins and most a bank tokens, obviously to stop counterfeit as I’m sure there’s plenty of.. thanks for watching bud ATB 👍

    Hey Jimbo. You sure that's a counterfeit one? 92.5% silver means the other 7.5% is another metal, like copper or Nickle. This other metal, being less conductive can react with chemicals in the soil and be forced to leech out. Maybe tumble it and see how it comes out. Or get a silver test kit. I've found silvers that can look like that.

      I’m sure mate, it only comes up as a 22 23 on the I.D.. I’m yet to put it in electrolytes though,
      But I’m almost positive its a fake,
      How you going mate.

    Nice fake florin, a good period for fakes was 1927 to 1931. Won't be surprised if it's another date also.

      Most were made during the Great Depression, they did what they could to survive

      Hi Dunc 👍 you’d like to think so,
      lot of trouble to go through for just one,
      Worlds stupidest criminals 🤣🤣,
      probably ran out of penny’s 🤣🤣
      must admit they did a great job and most likely during the Great Depression,
      None the Less it was a great thing to find on STRAYA day 🤣🍻🍺🍺🍺🍺👍
