<p>[QUOTE=&quot;saltysam-1, post: 1986165, member: 23368&quot;]There was a forum moderated by Robert Stump who authored a book called: Pop Out Repousse Coins - A Numismatic Mystery. Robert passed away in 2011 and his only existing forum wasn&#039;t maintained. I tried posting on it a year ago and no one replied. The book gives prices and rarity on the collectable pieces and a very good back ground on their development. There are actually two different types of Repousse Coins. Those made via the Keppler method and those by the Malliet method, both are patented with the government. I have several of each style and obtained a book a few years back when I first ran across them. You could try Oded Paz at <a href="mailto:pop-up@sbcglobal.net">pop-up@sbcglobal.net</a> or <a href="http://www.popoutcoin.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.popoutcoin.com" rel="nofollow">www.popoutcoin.com</a> and see if he can located another book. I purchased one through him about two years ago. They are out of print and less than 100 exist. You could also try contacting The Chicago Silver Company and see if they can furnish coins or at least leads to them. There are fakes and replicas out there so don&#039;t jump on the first thing you see. I have looked at eBay but the more expensive pieces I wouldn&#039;t buy unless you have a reasonable working knowledge about them. They are fascinating. When you see all the work that goes into them, you will believe they are under valued. The craftsmanship is more superior on the older pieces when comparing them to the newer one&#039;s. This is where the value is but so is the pricing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
