Most of these are significantly different than the real thing, but I&#039;ve seen one or two english 3 pence speilmunze pieces that were visually identical (as far a photographs). I own one of these that was particularly deceptive. The difference only became apparent under magnification and when weighing the item.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The reason I mentioned it is that these speilmunze often exhibit re-engraved legends and other striking irregularities. Rather than silver, they would be white plated metal or tin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Otherwise, Krause doesn&#039;t have a note stating that alignment varieties are known, as they do for some series. It&#039;s one of those things that has a value as different as the collector you show it to.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
