    Neat!

    But the real things are probably Rarity-4 or so (76 to 200 examples). I think you should save your money and buy a real one! Sure, it will probably cost $15K, but it would be worth it!

    I have handled the die used to make these restrikes. It is in the ANA museum.
    What is the seller asking for it/them?

    For most of the 80s and into the 90s, Bowers and Merena sold these in Rare Coin Review for $19.95 each. The supply ran out at some point, and prices started slowly creeping up.

    They're all red Unc (more or less) and they're still readily available. I wouldn't pay too much for one that happens to be slabbed at some high grade.

    That stated, they are very cool impressions of a die that was apparently accomplished by Jacob Perkins ca. 1792.
