It is part of a series of Crown sized replicas which are often sold as if they were genuine. In the US they should be clearly marked COPY or they should be destroyed. They are worth melt in my opinion, about 2 cents however, I do pay a couple dollars over melt for new varieties. Report this Post to the Staff
