okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5594 Posts	Posted 07/04/2015 05:57 am I don't think that it's a "circulated" reproduction. It's hot off a stamping mill somewhere. No even semi-serious collector would touch something like that. Report this Post to the Staff
Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2135 Posts	Posted 07/04/2015 07:22 am I'd be happy to have one in my collection as a medallion. I certainly wouldn't pay more than 50p, though. Report this Post to the Staff
Wade Pillar of the Community Canada 2781 Posts	Posted 07/04/2015 10:49 am the 'real' one(s) have monument/date OR text/ship so it's an intentional mix of 2 dies (which is what I find questionable). clearly stated as a repro in the title/description so obviously this seller (who I've bought from before) isn't trying to fool anyone. but others might not be so honest. semi-serious collectors might not ever touch this but is that who we are worried about? just think pieces like this are pushing the limits.

northcoin Valued Member United States 159 Posts	Posted 07/04/2015 11:25 am Charlton make reference to this item on page 181 under UC-5 Note # 1 where they state "A modern mule of Obverse UC-6 and reverse UC-5 exists, struck by the Pobjoy Mint, naturally all are in mint condition" I do not have a problem with this listing. And it does look like it was minted yesterday Edited by northcoin 07/04/2015 11:28 am Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36883 Posts	Posted 07/09/2015 7:30 pm Seems like it should carry the word "copy" as these designs were used before on period pieces. Report this Post to the Staff
billfrak Valued Member Canada 496 Posts	Posted 07/11/2015 08:09 am I think ever token collector has or had one of these. I would hope nobody would sell this as a genuine period piece . Report this Post to the Staff

Wade Pillar of the Community Canada 2781 Posts	Posted 07/12/2015 01:10 am a (former) ccf member reached out to me via ebay with a little history lesson on these pieces: Quote: These were made 30 years ago by a coin dealer (The maker's name was Joe Fougiere) in Niagara On The Lake. Sold as souvenirs with a full printed explanation they were never intended to fool anyone. 9000 are reputed to have been made. sold with "a full printed explanation" is one thing, but without all that I'm still behind the notion that this is close to the line (leaning towards over the line) of what is acceptable.
