Looks okay. I can't really see someone intentionally making a counterfeit low grade denarius.
-
Looks like a filled die. Nice piece!
-
Welcome! Is there any particular information on that piece that you're seeking?

Court Says 1933 Double Eagles are U.S.G. Property

Odd that they only showed up after the Farouk piece sold. Had they surfaced earlier, they would have had a good case to use the subsequent Farouk sale to make the same argument on a split. -
Welcome!

Looks to be Indian states

Neat - thanks for sharing!

And thank you for being with us! :-) The Roman emperors in the 4th century actually had coins for things like this: (Rough translation would be 10 years served because of vows, and here's looking ahead to 20)

It's definitely not Roman. I'm thinking Mid-East or South Asia.

On the D.A.T.A. piece on the first page, the "T.A." at the end likely stands for "Transit Authority" so it'd be down to looking for an place with the initials D.A. (e.g. "Dallas Area", just to throw a random example out)

Scovill was also active in the coin market around the turn of the century - primarily for the Latin American market.

Welcome!

And not that old either - I'd be less than 20 years old.

There are many "temple coins" in silver that people buy for the express purpose of using as an offering at a temple. Reportedly, some temples in India have built up massive hoards of precious metals.

That would be a copy of a Caballito peso - a classic of Mexican coins and IIRC, their last full sized silver peso.

Lovely pieces. I don't usually see many interesting pieces - just a lot of generics and Christmas bars

1970S US Quarter struck on a 1941 Canadian quarter

2 Georges for the price of 1! Frankly, I surprised the SS released it - since there's no way it could be anything but intentional. -

Given how customizable things are these days, it would seem that it could be something that someone could take on if they already had the facilities.
