    NO WAY!!!

    This is a cast copy. The dime stores were selling examples like this for a buck a piece before the Hobby Protection act was passed. The real thing sells for at least several thousand dollars, and there are a lot of deceptive counterfeits of it.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible.

    Did my YN essay on these and this certainly isnt real; it could be a centenial re-strike from 1876

    Better to just buy a real one. I think David Lawrence has one in stock that is less (well the grade is Fine I think) than the ones that come up from time to time on Heritage. Probably is as mentioned one of the re-strikes from 1876.

    WOW $255,, and I almost gave mine awayimage If the buyer knows it's a copy then I need to sell. If he doesn't then I know how he's going to feel.
    Need something designed and 3D printed?

    I did not think it was real. I just thought it was interesting to see it being sold this way. Thanks for the input.

    An obvious cast copy, it is not one of the 1876 restrikes either. Worth a dollar or so as a novelty.
