    I've got to say, the little alarm bells are going off in my head like crazy, looking at that Dutch coin. The wear pattern is nothing like what I'd expect to see on this coin... but exactly like what I'm seeing on the Forty Thieves website copies of this exact same coin (do a Google image search for "Netherlands 3 gulden 1831" and you'll see them; I'd rather not post a link and give them traffic). I'd have to say 98% confident this one's a Chinese replica.

    The first coin is suffering from guilt by association, I'm afraid.

    Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.
