    If you have that kind of money to spend, go for it. As long as you don't go into debt! ;)

    Sounds like a good deal only $635 a month and you get $100 eBay cash... I would go for it!

    It doesn't appear it's an auction. I would have suggested bidding exactly what it is worth ;)
    That would save you $14,249.99

    Plus shipping of course!

    1. I wonder who spent the money to have it analysed.
    2. I wonder what prompted someone to have it analysed.

    It should be on a copper-plated zinc planchet.

    I think anyone who even considers picking up this coin (at that price) should have their head analysed..........

    I've noticed a color difference in coins mostly copper. Would color be an indicator before weighing? Just try to figure out if it's worth buying scales. I guess I should if I'm going to keep doing coin collecting??

    Color is not the best gaurantee.
    If you understand the plating issues asociated with the zlincolns then a simple examination under a loope is all you need. Then weigh the ones that are questionable.

    I plan on getting a loope as well. Thanks. I'll read about how it's done.
