Opinions needed PLEASE!!!!!:surrender:

Its weird seeing it scanned and its very cool looking at it in person. I have my doubts ...the coin is pretty thin, I dont know if maybe they were thin from the hammering...?????? I cant wait to meet the two curators this week. They will know for sure what it is.Im still new to this wonderful detecting world. I hope that its something thats important enough to share with everybody from massachusetts. I have been out of work now for 3 months and bills are stacking...so I hope that maybe this will compensate some funds to help with my bills. I just was offered a job ..I start monday....:yo:
Well your opinions are welcome always. Thanks everyone!!! Oh before I found this a bird pooped on my arm. I was pretty mad at the time.

That was just God trying to keep you humble.:rofl:
 
The Paul Revere coin was duplicated, counterfeited, and were sold in Mass. Here's some pics of one a friend found, it's pewter.

Reverse of the tourist coin.
You had stated that you could clearly see the 16 in the date. The Revere coin is dated 1776.
I'm having a hard time seeing what you're seeing from the photos. Maybe if would lay a piece of paper over the coin and rub a pencil over it would show a better image. There are several Mass. coins from the 1600's so it might help.
Good find to me though.

I found a 177and the rest is cut off on the reverse. Also there is that wierd globe design , and there is lettering around the reverse.
Also does anyone see the date doubled litely just above to the right.
Please Note: I am so sorry about the quality of the scans. I am doing my best. Thank you all for your patience.
Just look and stare at them to the original. Its scary close.
 
as soon as your meds wear off I am sure you will notice that it is just a smashed peice of metal!!!!!
 
Thanks for that bid of confidence.:thumbdown:
I will let you know soon about what I found. I am meeting with reps. of coin companys and a museam president.
I just want to know what it is.
Thanks for your support!!:beers:
