<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JAY-AR, post: 2059855, member: 73301&quot;]I recently purchased a Fugio on eBay.... before you all groan.... I did do a little research before I made the purchase. I read the whole Peter Rosa story and as many articles as I could find. I bought the coin assuming it was a reproduction. I paid about $40 ish for the coin. (cause I thought it was cool) Anywho, the seller only said they thought it was a 1850 restrike. The edge of the coin was stamp with the name &quot;Becker&quot;. The coin looks amazing. I did have the coin tested for metal content. Results were 30% copper and 60% Lead with traces of tin and silver. (didn&#039;t pay for test as I work in a area with a metals lab) Going by PCGS Coin Facts, the coin should weigh 10.2 grams, mine weighs 10.4, Coin Facts also states the metal content as &quot;Other&quot; for this variety not copper.....so the plot thickens....HELP! Here are my pictures[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
