Is this a lot to pay for a doctored coin?

Maybe "doctored" isn't the right word, but what kind of premium do "worked" souvenier coins deserve?

I actually think those would be pretty cool to own. I'd be concerned, though, about authenticity. Seems to me that an enterprising con artist could create some and get them slabbed at a service that may not be very good at detecting fakes.

Besides, you can't even see the reeding on the coin...

I've had a few of these sets over the years. If "authentic", the $600 price is in the ballpark.
