Lot 2425: Coin Scale
 A very rare coin scale with weights die cast as coins for specific coin counterfeit detection. Case 3 x 7", 14 replica coins with detail on only one side. One piece has small counter stamps/hallmarks on the back, and must have been checked by an outside party for correctness. Coin replica/likenesses from Spain, Italy. Appears to be late 18th century, probably Italian. Purchased by collector in Milan, decades ago. In the scale collections we've seen over 40 years (easily over 1000 scales), we haven't seen this one. Coin scales are a great numismatic collecting sideline. Lots of history. -Editor To read the complete lot description, see:
