Hi Folks, I was hoping someone might be able to help me out with something. I've attached a link to a token that I saw today but knew nothing about. I was able to find this website but it doesn't quite answer my questions. I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to determine if the token I was looking at is a restrike as indicated here or if it was/is an original from the 1860s. Secondarily, anyone have an educated guess as to value of something like this or even seen one before? Thanks http://wwW.coinquest.com/cgi-bin/cq/coins?main_coin=5313&main_ct_id=90
I'm pretty sure that this is a later restrike as evidenced by this part of the description..... Exactly when it was produced, I can't say. Chris
Thanks. I was able to find another thread here on cointalk, even thought i swear i searched the same terms earlier and found nothing. There is additional discussion on characteristics between version if anyone is interested http://www.cointalk.com/t19033/
