[QUOTE="ZoidMeister, post: 4739860, member: 114169"]I'm back . . . . The reason for my interest in these restrikes was to get more educated on something i bought in my [I][B]somewhat ignorant*[/B][/I] youth. [SIZE=4][I]([B]*[/B] the term "somewhat ignorant" is highly understated)[/I][/SIZE] Back around the year 2000, when gold prices were in the dumper, I purchased something that I had zero knowledge of. When it arrived, I thought I had made a really poor purchase, took this thing, and threw it in a book of oddities. I hadn't totally forgotten about it, but thinking I made a dumb purchase, I also really haven't discussed it until now. Now that I have gotten it out to see the light of day, I present to you my "ignorant purchase" 1915 dated Austrian 4 Ducat Gold restrike. I am trying to get more information on it's composition. I see that Apmex has them listed on their website as an "Out Of Stock" item, but there isn't much more information that I can glean from them. Does anyone know the specifics of the gold content in one of these? My memory from 20 years ago is poor. I think I remember the seller (I forget where I even got this, possibly eBay) stating that is was 23K gold or somthing similar, but I'm having difficulty finding documentation of this one. Morgan Dollar adjacent the last two photos for size comparison. This thing barely fits into a 2x2 cardboard flip. Anyway, on to the pictures . . . . . . Your thoughts?
