not sure, but would assume not,as I got it off fleabay pretty cheap


stainless

 

I can get that much for it?


stainless

 

Interesting replica. Wonder what the real one was like.

 

stainless, you know that's a copy right? So the value is going to be about melt price.

Lou

 

I know, I only paid $2.01 for it so I figured why not.


stainless

 

Not bad! Not bad at all! :smile You had me worried there for a second.

Lou

 

I have no idea , you asked , I just guessed what you paid for it , is it silver .



Polish it up real purty like , tell them it was you're great grandfathers'
, when they ask about the copy stamp , just say that ain't no copy stamp , that's just how this coin wore , you could start the bidding at $25,000 .

Honestly, I was excited too, I saw it had no bids with four hours left..but then I saw "Copy" so I only bid .05 cents..lol...Still, not a bad replica IMO. I wonder what the real thing goes for if it was engraved like this.


stainless

 

Hmmm. I never knew NGC graded replicas. Interesting.

 

(I wonder what the real thing goes for if it was engraved like this.)

Now you would be talking about historical value. Who knows!

Lou

 

Actually they didn't grade it, they just authenicated it as a "genuine COPY", which must be an oxymoron. Nice buy Stainless.

Too bad it didn't say " Go Lee! " or "Confederates Rule", would be worth twice what Stainless paid.

Here is a place that sells them for $40 -http://www.shipwreckstore.com/product.asp?pn=301658&bhcd2=1225675693. Still trying to find the real deal.

 

You made out good stainless. Good job on your 2 dollar find.

 

I remember reading about a Double Eagle that saved of a Confederate soldier by stopping a bullet , he had it engraved and carried it as his good luck charm , they found it on him when they recovered the wreckage of the Confederate Sub , CSS Hunley .

Wow, I guess this is one instance in which tanstaafl doesn't apply.
