<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hus.thaler, post: 3298355, member: 85490&quot;]These coins come in several different varieties, with the most common types being available for $20 or less for decent examples.&nbsp; Almost all are weakly struck on crude planchets, so even Unc/AU examples can look VF.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have never seen a fake one, but I suppose someone could try to fake the rare and scarcer varieties.&nbsp; If you are just looking to get one for the type, then look for what Krause calls B-obverse, B-reverse in brass.&nbsp; The B-obverse stands for the &quot;little crown&quot; and the B-reverse stand for 2 pointed L&#039;s on &quot;HELLER&quot; (as opposed to A-rev, 1 curled L and C-rev, 2 curled L&#039;s).&nbsp; Nice copper versions look great, but the brass is a lot more common (5 to 1? 10 to 1?).</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are a couple of average/typical ones I had a few years ago.&nbsp; Brass first, copper next, both B/B.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]873212[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]873213[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]873214[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]873215[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
