Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 12/12/2015 9:21 pm . I've seen this type of "coin" before and may be a real pattern piece, although I wouldn't know the value of said piece. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 12/13/2015 01:13 am Why would anyone want to take even a small risk and start this one off at $0.99 with such a rare item, even if genuine? I would need to know a lot about this type of pattern if genuine, to be able to have a buying interest. My lack of specialist knowledge holds me back. Unfortunately, I can't take it to someone with specialist knowledge to advise me. Seller feedback looks OK, but I would investigate further. Other items for sale from this seller do not show any numismatic expertise. I would like to know where this seller got this pattern from, to prove provenance. Big dollars here.

Broken-Coin: Thankyou for the easily placed images. CHD: Thankyou for starting this thread. I now feel VERY dissapointed for the buyer. Not good.
