This replica, which is unmarked, originally was part of a 12-replica set marked &quot;Wilbertly Yours&quot; on the box and was distributed in the 1960s and 1970s as a free promotion to business accounts by Wilbert Burial Vaults, currently Wilbert Funeral Services, of Broadview, IL. Wilbert also distributed sets of replicas of U.S. colonial coins and U.S. early Western coins. Despite the size and weight of the above Owl replica, it frequently appears on eBay as an authentic coin.

It was offered for sale as an authentic coin on eBay.</p><p><br /></p><p>...</p><p><br /></p><p>Yours looks like it might be a cast of this cast fake.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
