Be careful, two of these posters that "found" that coin had someone die the very same day! I also hope you don't want get rid of it, because it will follow you around everywhere.
 
Myboyfriend keeps finding the Angel coins at work.!

My boyfriend keeps bringing them home from work.





Two finds from this weekend...

The first is a coin, gold in color, with an image of either and angel or Jesus on both sides.* I haven't seen too many images of Jesus with wings, so I'm guessing it's an angel.* The image is identical on both sides of the coin (token?).* I am guessing that it is some sort of Christian trinket to be kept in the pocket to remind one of one's faith, but that's just a guess.* Has anyone seen anything similar?

The second find is a ring.* The inside of the ring reads "18K HGE Espo."* Now, I thought 18K meant gold, so I nearly soiled myself when I first pulled it out of the ground.* But a more calm assessment really seems to indicate that it is NOT gold, based on the facts that a) it didn't make a gold tone when I found it and b) it has black tarnish spots on it that I don't think gold gets.* A Google search for "HGE Espo" brings up a whole bunch of what appears to be costume jewelry on Ebay, most of it sold as "vintage."* So I am guessing this is some sort of fake, but why would it read 18K?* And how old could it be even if it is fake?

Thanks very much for your help!
 
Found same coin, 11days after my friend found 1

My basement was recently flooded, so I've been in the process of cleaning it out. Today at 6:36 PM I found the coin, after finding 3 other coins on the floor surrounding it. This happened exactly 11 days after my new friend Gabor found the same exact coin at 3:33 on May 3rd.

Legend has it that anyone who owns an Angel Coin is promised love, money, and happiness. The original "Angel Coin" was minted by Augustine Dupre, a nobleman who was commissioned by King Louis XVI in 1792 to design the new monetary currency for France.


From that moment on, Dupre's creation became known as the "Angel Coin". He considered it a blessing for his life-long belief in angels. The next 200 years are filled with wondrous stories attributed to this talisman, including many claims of lives saved. Fisherman never went to sea without them. Most French pilots during WWI always packed one in their kits. Even Napolean carried the "Angel Coin" in his vest pocket (until one evening in 1815 on the verge of a great battle in Belgium, he arrogantly flung the coin into a nearby river which, not too coincidently, marked the starting point of his tragic demise).

In fact, the power of these coins was considered so great that Hermann Goering, the engineer of Hitler's evil vision, ordered his soldiers to round up all they could find which he then had buried in a secret location that's never been uncovered. Goering's obsession with good and evil was fanatical, and it's well documented that he devoted a great deal of Germany's resources to his futile search for another source of power --the Holy Grail.

*******More common, though, are the claims of ordinary people, whose lonely or troubled and often desperate lives have been re-made by the "Angel Coin" talisman. Skeptics call these remarkable transformations "coincidences". Believers call them "rewards for faith".*******

Description of the 3 other coins I found right before this one:
The first 2 were Chuck E. Cheese game tokens, they had a picture of a cartoon mouse on it, with the phrase "where a kid can be a kid". First one, dated 1999, the 2nd, 2001. I also found a Canadian quarter, commemorating the new year, 2000. It had a family(2 adults, 3 children) standing... See More in front of a Canadian flag with several fireworks bursting in front of them. Right before I found them I was singing the Beatles song "Get Back", "Get back to where you once belonged"

that darned angel coin again

Don't all these posts look fishy to anyone? Seems like they're trying to push the magical angel coin.

Hi folks... some newbie here.
I just HAD to respond to the above comment.

Guess what? This thread comes up #1 in a Google search for "brass angel coin".

And of course... guess what I needed to find out about today?

I think the only conclusion is this:
This forum is pretty much stuck for eternity and beyond with this thread popping up again and again with posts from completely newbie posters like me... all finding this coin in random places at random times and wondering what the freakin' heck this coin is about and where it came from.

I am going to conclude that since no one here has come up with any definite, verifiable source - and you guys ARE the experts after all - that this coin's creator and source is simply going to remain unidentified.

Hello all other people popping in here from that same "brass angel coin" Google search:
Just give it up, folks. Seriously. :roll:

If you found this coin somewhere, congrats. You can't buy it, you can only find it randomly like I did (unless someone decides to sell one online somewhere). I hope to be disproved sometime. I wanna know too. :)

Just enjoy the mystery, google searchers. That's what I have finally decided to do.

Either way, I am glad to have found this forum. :)
It's a good thing for the future. I have an outdoors hobby which lends itself well to metal detecting, and when I can afford a detector, I'll be back with cool questions and ideas on that unrelated subject.

Seeya then. :)

Ah, OK... I get it...

I see the logo and the initials "CRS" there.

I always thought "CRS" stood for "Can't Remember S#%!" :lol:

"Catholic Relief Charities." I get it now. (So much for my chosen username.)

OK, this thread can FINALLY take a rest.

Newbie people coming in from Google to this thread, you can look at something else now. Google for "catholic relief charities angel coin" and go from there.

Thanks forum folks for cluing me in... You guys seem to be a pretty cool bunch. :)

Wouldn't the initials for Catholic Relief Charities be CRC and not CRS?
 
Like I said...

Errr...

Like I said... :?: at least I THINK I said it... :roll: that's right, that's right; it's "CRC" which stands for "Can't Remember Crap"! :lol: :lol:

Might as well have fun with the typo...
 
I have one too!

I have a gaurdion angel coin too! Im hoping it will give me good luck! But im sorry to say I have not much info for you except I have heard that whoever owns one shall be showered in love, money. and, luck! :)
 
i found a coin just like it laying around my house. do you think its worth anything ?
 
the ring i have no information on (have seen something like it befor though) but as for the double-sided angel coin (from what little information i could recieve anyways), it's a coin given by caothlic/christian churches for good luck and health so keep it near at all times
 
Angel coin

I really liked the early response made that it's possible to coin found you. I am at work today and we had no quarters in the drawer this morning with usually never happens. So I went and opened a roll of quarters and out popped this gold coin. I looked at it and my first thought was a good luck Christian coin as well. Then I thought that maybe this wasn't luck and maybe I was suppose to find it. I replaced it with another quarter and now I'm going to hold on to it. I've been stressed out lately with work and school and being non stop that I feel like God just wanted to let me know he was with me. :) I also found it interesting that if you look at it on an angle it looks at one point like her eyes are closed...but when you turn it up slightly her eyes open. It could be shadows but I still thought it was neat. :)
