DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 11/22/2016 11:17 am I guess they must have been produced in fair numbers because for such large attractive coins they are quite reasonably priced... either supply must be high or demand low. Report this Post to the Staff
bobisgr8 Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 11/22/2016 11:47 am Given that this coin is apparently not rare, does the presence of the test cuts detract from whatever value it has? Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 11/22/2016 1:41 pm Anything done to alter a coin from its original appearance will effect it's value one way or another. Test cuts usually detract from the value. On the other hand counter marks depending on what they are may increase the value. Report this Post to the Staff
