<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2761050, member: 36230"]I personally don't see why anyone wouldn't respect your opinion, and in fact, you're an excellent example of the very type of person I mentioned in my earlier post. It's a very niche item and isn't something that will appeal to the majority, so if anything, you're in very good company. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The OP's coin could be placed into the same general category as gold plated 1883 "no cents" V nickels. There's nothing stopping someone from making either one 20-30 years ago (or whatever) or even today, so there is no definitive historical connection, and most collectors have no interest in plunking down the money to buy such a thing, but there are always the exceptions. If someone likes and/or wishes to collect them, who am I to judge? At the very least there was a little hand-skill involved in making it, which is more than can be said for certain modern altered "fantasy" copies which are widely collected.
