Beverly Oaks Metal Pirate Coins - Gold and Silver Spanish Doubloon Replicas - Fantasy Metal Coin Pirate Treasure (30-Coins)

Perfect as tokens or currency for any game, with a generous helping for those wishing to outfit more crowded gaming tables. Good quality and unit-to-cost ratio.* These coins are about the size of a US quarter, only slightly thinner, and about half as heavy; but are still quite solid, unlikely to bend, and have a nice heft to them. Pleasant to handle. They come in equal portions of 50 gold and 50 silver, each portion having 25 “shiny” and 25 “tarnished” coins, resulting in a mix of new and old. Attractive to the eye. Additional thoughts and points of interest: -Great for people who don’t want to settle for cheap plastic coins. -The irregular shape and design gives them a nice “Fantasy / Historical” feel. -They are cast from molds rather than handwrought (which would be slow and prohibitively expensive), so the coins are identical to each other, which might put off some potential buyers. Personally, I say: ”Yay, for technological progress!” -Useful to simulate one or more coin currencies in your games. The resourceful D&D player might use the tarnished coins in place of Copper Pieces. -For those apprehensive of the “tarnished” coins, do not fret: The finish, likely achieved through an acid bath, means the “tarnished” coins are not grimy or dirty; and the texture, while slightly rougher than that of the “shiny” coins, does not feel rusty or flaky at all. When examined in person, even the tarnished coins are quite attractive in their own right. -Yes, they are in fact metal. They don’t appear to be ferromagnetic (I tested, but with a pretty weak magnet). -I have heard that similar products in the market have an unattractive greenish-yellow color that looks “fake,” or that they (other coins, from other manufacturers) discolor if left in the sun. But the “shiny” coins from this manufacturer are of a realistic color comparable to authentic coin currencies, and I have not personally observed any discoloration (though I have not been abusive in my testing). -Every LARPer should have a leather drawstring bag full of these. *At the time of writing these coins were the best priced among their competitors if you are looking to buy in bulk, with the “Lot of 200” from the same manufacturers being the most cost effective.

I use these as DnD coins or for board game money (DnD ToA). The best part is it doesn't look like a biased type of coin, just a generically pressed gold piece, unless you can't erase the whole "pirate" theme doubloons come with. I also like how they look uneven. Clean-cut coins turn me off because some games run in olden fantasy times, where currency was based on weighted metals. :) Authentic feel. Great quality. Made of metal. Authentic feel. Perfect ratios. These all come from one mold, but not too noticeable unless you stack them perfectly together. The 200 pack isn't really a lot. My image shows only 1/5 of my standard sized third-die dice bag (celtic medal). So, if you plan to fill a bag, it may take a bit. XD Unlike some reviews, I received a complete and correct 25% of all 4 types in my 200 piece collection. The doubloons were separated into 2 ziplocks of 100 pieces of 25 shiny gold, 25 shiny silver, 25 aged gold, 25 aged silver all in one big ziplock. The gold and silver are wonderfully sparkly (almost too obviously fake, but I digress!). The aged/tarnished ones are actually made up of 2 base colors. Most people have received (or perceived) only 3 colors, but mine came in 4: shiny gold, shiny silver and their aged tarnished versions (dark coins). So, perhaps those with more aged coins than gold and silver might have overlooked the fact that there are 2 aged colors for a total of 25% of each color (shiny gold and silver, and tarnished gold and silver). Although, that doesn't explain the fact that some of them received less than their complete count.

Wonderful quality. They have a solid weight and a consistent shape. The amount I got was actually slightly over what I was promised which was kind of nice. The coins are real metal and feel like it too! They are decently shiny as well, they're not too expensive, ESPECIALLY for the quality, they're GREAT for gifts for roleplayers, collectors, or kids as well. I personally keep them in a chest with my dice as a kind of treasure chest. They're super fun to play with and you should see my player's faces when they get handed REAL METAL coins as a treasure reward.. and when they have to give them back in order to buy things!

It is a smaller amount and size than I hoped for, but after reading the reviews, I was prepared and ordered anyway. Could it have been better? Yes. But I was still pleased with the product and it worked great for the Living History program I was doing. They blended in well with the few real ones I have, and no one questioned them. If you know the strengths and weaknesses of the coins going in to it, you should have no problem making a decision you are happy with.

When I ordered these coins I was under the impression they would be nice looking, but rather thin metal. This is just something you live with in this day and age of toy companies cutting costs wherever they can. When they arrived I was in for a very nice surprise. The coins are indeed all metal, and are a pretty decent weight and strength too. These sturdy coins will take some doing to bend out of shape and have the weight and thickness of what I would expect from an actual coin. Not a gold or silver coin mind you, but maybe the weight of a nickel or quarter. These are two sided coins with designs very much resembling gold doubloons from the 1800's. So you can even use them to flip heads or tails, which is a nice tough in the level of detail that I was not expecting (shoot... I was half expecting a once sided design with the other side blank). As another reviewer has stated they are not exactly as you see them in the picture. While the coin design definitely is the color options are not. You only get three different colors: Gold, Silver and that darker faded color. So you won't be getting the same color variations as you see on the picture. It's still all good to me. Plus they kind of give you amounts based on "value" with the darker coins being the most prominent and the silver coins being about half or less that amount and the gold coins being less in amount than the silver coins. Nice touch. I love just about everything about these coins. The only slight drawback is they are smaller than I expected. That could just me be when thinking about those plastic gold coins you see at Party City, however I just want to make sure your expectations are set reasonably. I don't feel the slightly smaller size in any way affects how freakin' cool these coins are. We are using them as a token reward for my son. You should have seen the look on his face when he got his first coin. It makes me wish I were a kid again so I can play with them.

5/5 would buy again, though 50 coins seems like a lot, but hardly filled up my coin purse, so i ended up buying 100 more. They look and sound great and give my coin pouch a nice jingle as i walk. Got it for the ren fair and yeah sounds nice in the pouch

These coins are perfect. The weight and size definitely make them feel like doubloons.

I’m really impressed with these! For some reason I thought they would be big plastic coins, but they are about the size of a quarter and metal!
