<p>[QUOTE="Magnus87, post: 7063669, member: 96372"]Vendor (correctly, I presume) identifies it as an electrotype copy. If I remember correctly, these were produced some time in the mid-nineteenth century and are worth considerably less than the originals, which are hysterically pricey. I bought one of the copies from a coin shop bid board (do any of these still exist?) c. 25-30 yrs. ago and paid only a few bucks for it. Value has surely gone up some in the intervening years but, that said, vendor’s ask seems a LOT more than I would have guessed it worth these days.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
