<p>[QUOTE=&quot;vegasvic, post: 412800, member: 15296&quot;]I am afraid that the California Fractional may actually be a brass reproduction that was minted in the sixties.&nbsp; I say this because I once bought a very small&nbsp; one .0125 Troy OZ (that&#039;s right 1/80 of a Troy Ounce) from a friend at spot, so I only had a few buck in it, and guess what it was one of the repros.&nbsp; I threw it out once I found out.&nbsp; We never know how long we&#039;ll be on this planet and I didn&#039;t want it in my collection.&nbsp; </p><p>The executor to my will would have lost all credibility to whomever was appraising my estate.&nbsp; Plus if it isn&#039;t real, it has no collecting appeal to me.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know why anyone would purposely buy a repro as they do on Ebay.&nbsp; Which brings up another thought, have you ever noticed how small the wording on some of their ads are, that they are repros, not an actual coin, and that the wording is hidden amomgst a vast amount of text.&nbsp; They also do not identify the repro in the headline, so time is waste on looking at the ads.&nbsp; I do not believe those ads should be allowed on Ebay and certainly not in the same category as real coins.</p><p>Vegas Vic[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
