brg5658 Pillar of the Community United States 627 Posts	Posted 03/13/2012 09:24 am I recently picked up what is labeled as an 1868KB 1 Forint restrike, graded PF65 by NGC. I found it in Krause as #449.1. My question is this: Does anyone know the mintage of this "restrike" issue? Does anyone know when this "restrike" was minted -- was it restruck in 1868? I have scoured the web and I cannot find any information about this coin other than that the design was a 2 year type issue (1868-1869), and the regular strikes from 1868 and 1869 were produced in approximate mintages of 500,000 pieces. Below are my images of the coin. I purchased it because I really loved the reverse design. Thanks for any help you can offer! Report this Post to the Staff

Does anyone know when this "restrike" was minted -- was it restruck in 1868? I think it was mint by early 1950s Report this Post to the Staff
