IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Sounds to me like an Etsy troll has stolen your images and is likely duping folks into buying coins worth considerably less than yours. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

I feel insulted that it's only going for 22 bucks...

At the end of their description: Quote:
A replicated coin closely mirrors the original. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

I just bought one. I have a complete set of SLQ's minus the 1916. I will post some photos when I get it in hand, and we can see how it compares to a genuine example. I am most likely going to be highly disappointed for my $22.

No doubt they stole your images in order to sell these (below). @slider23 I'm not sure why you would pay $22 for this junk when you can buy them for $1.13 direct from China. Note that "COPY" is undoubtedly only a watermark (identical on both sides?) so it's still violating the Hobby Protection Act.  |

I'm sure that seller will sell you a roll of them.

I was trying to think of why he calls it a "commemorative coin." My guess is that because it's a copy, it commemorates the real coin. I noticed in the third paragraph, he calls it a 1918 SLQ.  Edited by jpsned

Note:
"Handmade" (counterfeit)
"Order today to get by Jan 3-29" (long time)
If you look at their shop...you see they are just a front for a Chinese counterfeiter.
