Electrotype copies, especially if they can be verified as to date or creator, can sell for pretty good prices. Many 19th century collections contained electrotypes of the rare coins - they were cheap, and filled holes in their sets for rare examples. It&#039;s understandable, if you think about it from their perspective. They weren&#039;t worried about the Chinese counterfeits that we have to contend with now, and they purchased these as clear and obvious copies. </p><p><br /></p><p>These have to be differentiated from modern electrotype copies. I am not familiar enough with the subject to be able to identify modern vs. contemporary?(ish?) electrotypes, but maybe you can point out a few key things to look for?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
