<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul M., post: 3764883, member: 73165&quot;]One thing nobody&#039;s mentioned is that there are also a lot of really good quality (legal) replicas out there.&nbsp; One example is the <a href="https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/lots/view/3-2MG74/1776-1962-continental-currency-dollar-bashlow-restrike-hk-853-copper-38-mm-ms-65-rd-ngc" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/lots/view/3-2MG74/1776-1962-continental-currency-dollar-bashlow-restrike-hk-853-copper-38-mm-ms-65-rd-ngc" rel="nofollow">HK-853 so-called dollar</a>, but there are others.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Wow, that&#039;s a lot less than I thought it would be.&nbsp; Continental notes are surprisingly affordable, even in upper circulated grades, especially compared to early Federal coins.&nbsp; It&#039;s kind of amazing to me that you can have an XF-AU continental note with the Fugio design for 1/3 what you might pay for a comparable grade / common variety Fugio cent!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That is actually a really good point.&nbsp; English coins, and even Conder tokens, of the period were typically very high quality.&nbsp; Compare the average English coin to the average Fugio cent, and it&#039;s a huge world of difference.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
