    I think this poor buyer overpaid - a lot!

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    A lot on money to pay for an uncertified restrike minted recently in "unknown quantities." Smoebody wasn't paying attention.

    I think I saw this once in one of the threads on this board. As I recall it was minted in England, and they are still available from some website for about $60.00.

    "RESTRIKE PATTERN OR PRIVATE RESTRIKE"

    aka... copy made by a private individual or company... aka worthless numismaticly....

    Query whether Heritage ought to be auctioning this at all.

    Where are the Liberia Morgan listings?

    Love that icon, Step! image

    It looks like the reverse of the NH quarter!

    thanks for your comments it is a curious little coin, that I alos thought was done by a private individual which would just make it as put so well "aka copy"

    thanks
