<p>[QUOTE="SirCharlie, post: 1187866, member: 17255"]If anyone is considering purchasing one of these, they should research them well, as there are two versions that look almost identical. One is silver and the other is cupro-nickel, and they even weigh exactly the same. Why in the world would they make 2 identical coins that you can't tell apart, and on top of that, mint them to weigh the same? I looked into these to see how much one of these would cost. They are priced as high as $350, but a silver one sold on eBay today for under $50. The seller said it was the silver version, but it made me wonder whether or not anyone might try selling the cupro-nickel version in place of the silver version. There are a couple of distinguishing differences, but unless you have one of each to see the difference, you won't be able to tell which one is which.</p><p>Just some food for thought in case anyone considers buying one. Maybe Lance or someone else could help, or just buy one slabbed.</p><p>Chuck[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
