Hoarder Bob New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 03/05/2013 11:50 am I think these re-strikes are available as medallions from ChattanoogaCoin in the Fantasy Restrike Section. I called them but the "Vault Master" could not remember what designs were still available other than the Texas, Boone, and Vermont and, I guess, for the price, no one volunteered to go see. So I ordered the 3 pictured with a comment to call me if there were more designs available. If nothing else, should make a good pocket piece! I think these were made before the 1973 Protection Act - so no "COPY" stamp.? But could not get any more specific info on them - Maybe someone else that deals with them regularly could find out more than I could... Report this Post to the Staff
Heymikep Pillar of the Community United States 824 Posts	Posted 04/25/2013 8:03 pm Well, I am one of those fools! I thought that I was getting a good price on the 1936 Gettysburg Comm. but as I just received it in the mail I realized that it is a fake. I have opened a case with ebay and asked the seller to refund me once he gets the item back. Luckily I paid with PayPal! I noticed the instant I pulled it out of the package. What a disappointment. Next time I will know better before bidding. Edited by Heymikep 04/25/2013 8:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff
