Great deal...or not
« on: January 13, 2024, 01:42:35 AM »
I was scrolling through eBay and saw this listing

 


and thought "Hey, that is a pretty good deal for a rarer type!"

until I looked at the listing and saw the obverse.

Is it a cast copy?

No, it is genuine; but the obverse is in such poor condition that even $20 might be too much. This coin might only interest a specialist in this series who collects these by door handle variation etc...
