CalzoneManiac Pillar of the Community United States 2233 Posts	Posted 02/18/2020 1:25 pm Interesting! I do remember hearing that aluminum was a precious metal in the 19th century. I'm sure you guys have heard about the Napoleon plate story, right? Report this Post to the Staff
GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 02/18/2020 4:03 pm Hey I know that coin! It's ours! LOL. Want in hand pics? Edit: To specify, it belongs to the shop I work at. I remember packing this one when we went to baltimore last year. Edited by GrapeCollects 02/18/2020 4:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 02/19/2020 5:19 pm A piece this scarce should have pedigree information with it. I believe there were only 5 to 8 of these and until fairly recently 4 of them were still in original holders of full proof sets all in aluminum. (I've had the chance to see one of the sets still in the original holder, amazing. But that set has now been removed from the holder.) Report this Post to the Staff

For 22K I think the people deserve better. I'm sure you would agree Grape Report this Post to the Staff
GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 02/19/2020 6:30 pm We had an issue where ebay removed listing photos from our listings randomly. We're trying to figure which listing were affected and fix them. So in that regard thanks to Bobby for doing my job! Report this Post to the Staff
