V.D. Brenner bronze plaque of Lincoln

This is pretty cool. Way out of my league though. What do you guys think?

I have seen several much nicer examples that haven't been severely gone over with a wire scrub brush.

 

and overpriced.

Yeah, I know that is against the rules, but it is overpriced.

 

That one didn't sell the first time it was listed and I don't think it will sell this time either. Someone has virtually destroyed that one. There are nicer, and less expensive, ones out there for sale.

 

I'm not 100% certain, but I think this might be a fake.


From an image off an old Heritage auction for this plaque, January 2009. Look at the stars, and how thick they are in the middle.

Here's the link to the HA auction: http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1121&lotNo=6322




From the seller's pics on the link Manbeast posted. See how the stars are thin lines?

 

2008+2009 there were over a 100-1000 listing for this type of Item on eBay.
Not all can be real.
your I am not sure but H.A photos + items don't match ???

 

I see what your talking about. The stars don't match at all.

 

Stay far, far away. These aren't are rare as many people think ... even the genuine ones and this one looks, well, just stay away.

 

I don't think it's real but it's been worked on so much, it's hard to know.
Real or not, it's had a tough life.
This one is mine and would probably bring $1200 to $1500.

 

That's nice. Is that marble the plaque is mounted on?
