<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2125013, member: 46237&quot;]Yea I got a couple of the ones I posted above from the same seller you picked yours up from. He&#039;s a good seller with a lot of nice world coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>The info I&#039;ve read on them regarding exact restrike dates is murky. They produced a lot of them over a number of years. At least 3 of the 5 coins I posted above had restrike versions for example, the 1 Ft, the 5K commem, and the St. Istvan commem. Some of those classic Hungarian coin restrikes are worth a lot more than the authentic coins, due to the restrikes having very low mintage numbers. Though I have an uncirculated original (which is currently at NGC), I&#039;ve been considering also picking up the restrike of my favorite Hungarian coin, the 1896 Hungarian millennium commemorative.</p><p><br /></p><p>All the restrikes have a minor change from the original coins and are not exact copies. The originals all had decorated edges, typically lettered edges and/or a pattern of rosettes. Unfortunately I can&#039;t really photograph the edges well in the slabs, but the edges on classic Hungarian coins are really works of art. I haven&#039;t seen any restrikes in person, but I&#039;ve read they have plain edges or a small rosette added next to the mint mark. When you receive yours, let me know if it has a plain edge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
