<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1766951, member: 19463"]Assuming proper silver at current rates, melt would be about $30. I'm not sure how to value a replica but there obviously is a market for these considering the number of different ones we see. Antiquanova replicas sell new for $150 and they are not the best of style. I would not be surprised if this fake would sell close to $100 without the deceptive listing. I also suspect that someone will buy it and try to resell it with more deceptive language for a profit. The number of people with more money than sense is what is scary. If I were buying something worth $10-50k, I would consider using a real high reputation dealer. Silly me. Since the chances of finding a real one of these for this price has worse odds than the lottery I might suggest buying a (few?) hundred lottery tickets and buying the coin with your millions in winnings. Either method has about equal chances of success.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
