[QUOTE="Delmer, post: 280532, member: 8219"]This org was called NORFED in the past. Lots of you are familiar and most are disinterested.. but I thought they were cool enough to order 10 bucks worth. Looks like the e-pay'ers are paying triple for them already. There are 6 in the auction site already. These look very very interesting under a loop.. I see attributes that don't occur in anything the US mint made. Rainbow toning and delamination (how does 99.9% copper have a 'skin'?) and I can clearly see stepped letters (for lack of knowing any technical terms). They look more cast than stamped.. and the reeds on the edge look half-hearted... barely depressed. I'm not complaining or demeaning the items.. just stating observations. awaiting my "Ron Paul" dollars now. I wonder how many who vought them are just keeping them and not "spending"? Probably 80% I'll guess. no link.. I dunno if it's proper. EDIT picture added. sorry for the focus.. can't get in close with this 50 dollar camera. None of the pictures show the attributes I talked about. All the edges have a small step leading off them to the field. like it was rough-carved to the field depth and then the letters and designs were fine-carved by another process.
