$48 too much. You can buy the same coin from the "J-Man" for two bucks (and free shipping all the way from Peking); it even has the same markers... and don't worry, the "REPLICA" stamp won't be there (unless you specifically ask for it).

Wow! Thanks for the link. Sure are from the same die. Any idea what they weigh and/or are made of?

 

I believe these "second tier" forgeries are a copper-nickle mix, pretty close to correct weight... but you can also buy the "top tier" replica (90% silver, correct weight, using laser cut dies) for around $29; these coins fooled about half the dealers at the 2008 FUN convention (according to Susan Headley's article in Coin World).
