<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 4594377, member: 24633"]Okay! I'll concede that I may have been wrong about the date, but I looked at several of the listings and images of the 1840 medal. Some were bronze; some were copper, and some were gilt bronze or gilt copper. All of them referred to the same number - 1990. I can only conclude that it has nothing to do with whether it is copper, bronze or gilt. Why would they use the same number for all three metals?</p><p><br /></p><p>I keep thinking back to a decade ago when NGC stopped accepting foreign coins that were attributed by PCGS in their Registry Sets because their attributions were sometimes wrong. I can't help but think that they screwed the pooch on this one, too, and I still think that the Different on this one is more than likely a Cornucopia, meaning that it was a restrike some time after 1880.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. ~ Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
