<p>[QUOTE="PamR, post: 8234387, member: 119754"]Rarely plastic is or was used. The collections you see are valuable to the collector. The one I have is $20 and that is in the 1980s. The older ones are really nice ones. I regret not saving mine. Yes some made in a party store may be plastic but that is not where the official parades get theirs. Hope that helps some.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Morganna) <a href="http://www.ustica.org/doubloon_images/kingarthur12merlin.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ustica.org/doubloon_images/kingarthur12merlin.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.ustica.org/doubloon_images/kingarthur12merlin.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p>King Arthur 2012 (Merlin / theme) </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Base Material</b> - Aluminum, wood, bronze, copper, silver oxide and sterling silver are the most common materials used to make doubloons, but also to a lesser extent brass, nickel, pewter, leather, plastic and gold / gold-plated. <a href="http://www.ustica.org/doubloon_images/cleopatra82plastic.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ustica.org/doubloon_images/cleopatra82plastic.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.ustica.org/doubloon_images/cleopatra82plastic.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p>Cleopatra 1982 plastic <a href="http://www.ustica.org/doubloon_images/thoth05heavy.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ustica.org/doubloon_images/thoth05heavy.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.ustica.org/doubloon_images/thoth05heavy.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p>Krewe of Thoth 2005 gold-plated bronze[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
