[QUOTE="predcarn, post: 148418, member: 6000"]According to my references, modified copies ( larger letters and date) were made in 1861 (25 copper and 25 brass), and the cabinet curator of the mint DuBois made gilt electrotype copies of the mint's cabinet original. These have a seam on the edge of the coin and will not "ring". More modern copies have likely been made since then, but due to the extreme rarity and value of even the 1860's copies, they would certainly have to undergo a lot of scrutiny. Is it possible for you to post photos of the coin you have?[/QUOTE]
