<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1323292, member: 26302&quot;]I don&#039;t either. Like I said, for decades since the start of collecting in the US this was &quot;THE COIN&quot; and anyone owning one had bragging rights as having one of the best collections in the US. As such, these have been copied for well over a century. Some copies were even done in pure gold. I have a copy done in pure silver that was probably made 100 years ago or more. If I had a guess, the last of these were probably known to numismatists as late as 1870.</p><p><br /></p><p>Its always possibly Ikandiggit, so thats why I said it would be possible, but I do not remember a news story in the coin press about it. The popular press runs stories like this often, before a coin is verified. I recall many similar stories, like ancient jewish coins being found in KY and the like. If you follow up, most of these end up being fakes that someone discarded.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
