If it was made by Errol Medicine, rather has an Errol Medicine COA, it's probably fake.
The US Mint issue price was $120. The US Mint had an initial contract with the native americans to produce 20,000 pouches and after the quick sellout of that stock, they obtained 30,000 more. The second group were no where near the quality of the first.
what a collection
are you going to post the big pictures for those?
<< <i>I know all about them. Here is a link to my website of a couple dozen.

Is there a way to know what group one was made from? 1 or 2 ? Also i thought the price had to do with what tribe made the bag on the secondary market. Dakota Sue? Lakota Sue?

<< <i>heres a pic of what i got coming, don't know if its a rare one , but i could not beat the price.
Is it a Type 1 or Type 2 pouch?
From my pictures, 112, 114, 192, 200, and 201 comprised 80% of the second group from what I recall.
The one pictured above definitely looks like an April Fox pouch and it's 100% original.
<< <i>The first group typically have very fine beadwork, and smaller beads. The second group, although does contain some of the nicer pouches, typically have large beads and sloppy work.

thank you , jessewvu
you have taught me a few things....

What other sellers on eBay did, and are still doing, is take his COA and create other pouches that were never made by Errol, and are selling them. It's pretty easy to tell which are real and which are fake. I'd say that 99% of the real pouches are the soft tan leather with small bead work. There are however legitimate pouches made of black, dark brown, and white leather but they are from very specific people and tribes and easy to identify. If the pouch has paint on it, I'd say it's 99.999% a fake because the US Mint was very clear about what they allowed and did not allow for this program. I think I actually have a copy of the contract between the US Mint and Errol Medicine somewhere, I'll see if I can find it.
If you have any questions, please send me a picture. I'll help out as best I can.
I may have to start getting some
if there were 50,000 made and you have 200 of them, that must be around 1/4%
they're all rare!
jessewvu, thanks again for all the insight. can you say expert ???
The initial run was 30,000, vice 20,000 as I stated. I got them mixed up. I can't find the second page of the one letter or the letter from the US Mint. I'll post them when I find them.
