Did you guys know the US Mint produced an extra 200 1933 Saints?

They even weigh more than the original.

The bottom of the certificate says something about the ANA World's Fair of Money, New York. Can't make out the date.

Can't make out all of the bottom of the cert but it looks like "July 14 - August 6, 2 ....?..."

Wow.
I did not know that. Thank you for the info.

Is that Michael Fuljenz' sig on the Certificate of Authenticity?

I was going to bid but I just can't bring myself to do it since it is missing that screw.

At least it says copy.

Is it legal tender in the CNMI? 'Cause if not, I don't want it...

Geez, I bet whoever paid $7.6 million for the Farouk specimen is smacking his forehead right now! ala Homer Simpson "d'OH!"

Back in my early days of collecting I almost purchased one of these thinking it was the real deal, I didn't know any better.

the story aint even close !

Am I blind? Where is the date 1933 anywhere on that "coin?" OK, I looked again and finally found the date hiding in the rays of the obverse.

Russ,

Thank you for the alert posting. I would have never forgiven myself
if I had missed the chance for a 1933 Saint!!

At least the scan says copy, but I am surprised that he is claiming that
they were made by the US mint instead of some private press.
