<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 1926698, member: 24091&quot;]Krause has always added some confusion surrounding this coin with a claim that the coin was struck in 1969 from original dies.&nbsp; I&#039;ve never been that certain of it because the coin is hardly ever seen and if it were restruck in 1969, --even if it were just a few hundred pieces-- examples would be much more available.&nbsp; The slabbed coin (without any restrike indication on the label) was purchased in September of 2001 raw and I believe it is from the Rome mint ca 1938.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The other &quot;coin&quot; sold as a &quot;restrike&quot; is a recent purchase that will probably be going back to the seller.&nbsp; The weight is off by 0.4 grams, the color is off (too yellow) and the strike on the reverse is so weak that I would be more inclined to use the term &quot;spurious&quot; to describe the coin than restrike.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]331696[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]331697[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]331698[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]331699[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
