Goonies gold coins. #3 no links!!!!!!

[Grouch]

I've seen a few batches of gold coins on eBay. Some are claiming to be cast from screen used ones, one even claims to be screen used. I've been keeping an eye out for goonies collectibles for the last few months and I havenÂ’t seen these before, maybe I just missed them.

Anyways, are these screen accurate? Are they recast from one of our own?

If I list the seller who might be recasting, and who already has claimes made agaist them will this thread get locked too?

The coins in the top picture are commonly available all over the place, just look in the various "pirate" webstores. I don't know if they were available when Goonies came out (kinda doubt it), but they were used by the pound in PotC.

Good to know, thanks.

So the first one is out, the middle one claims to be screen used, the bottom claim to be casts of screen used by a seller who has been acused of recasting RPF members stuff. Any opinions.

Spanish Doubloons popularized when a bunch were discovered in Florida back 40-50 years ago. Came off a Spanish shipwreck in 1715.

The goonies casts have been cast so many times, they have lost a lot of detail. Reason being, that they get cast, then spray painted gold, which adds a thick layer and starts to fill in on the detail.
A more accurate version is on my list of things to do. I have one of the casts that are in the above pictures, and I'll be working on it to bring back the missing details.
