<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sam_I_am.MiaFLUSA, post: 3133722, member: 84102&quot;]You&#039;ve obviously &amp; unfortunately been exposed to the influence of some shyster dealer(s) who take unreasonable &amp; unconscionable liberties when buying merchandise from unsuspecting members of the public and newbies such as yourself.&nbsp; Firstly, why in G_d&#039;s name would one discount any decent pop-coin?&nbsp; It may not be collectible numismatcally, but is definitely worth more than the “melt” to which you refer; it is a collectible antique or example of exonumia!&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Secondly, if electroplating or ormolu <i><b>adds</b></i> to the original item, even if only measurable in microns of thickness, any loss of metal would be inconsequentially nominal and, in fact, still be a <i><b>plus</b></i>!&nbsp; The only loss is in appearance &amp;/or possible desirability, certainly not a loss of weight. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; If you don&#039;t wish to become known as a shyster yourself, you <i><b><u>need</u></b></i> to find an honest dealer from whom to learn.&nbsp; Being a sharp buyer is one thing; being a <i>thief</i> is quite another!&nbsp; Good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
