Message:: [QUOTE="kaparthy, post: 4223049, member: 57463"]Asking US$ 5900. Still no buyers. But, then, no returns allowed, either. Is this thing real at all? I mean, I know that it is called a "restrike." But who restruck them? It looks like a gimmick to me. Do you have any clarification? "The company remained in existence in vestigial form, continuing to manage the tea trade on behalf of the British Government (and the supply of Saint Helena) until the East India Stock Dividend Redemption Act 1873 came into effect, on 1 January 1874. This Act provided for the formal dissolution of the company on 1 June 1874, after a final dividend payment and the commutation or redemption of its stock.[77] [...]In the 1980s, a group of investors purchased the rights to the moribund corporate brand and founded a clothing company, which lasted until the 1990s. The corporate vestiges were again purchased by another group of investors who opened their first store in 2010." -- <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_India_Company" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_India_Company" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_India_Company</a>[/QUOTE]
