maudry Pillar of the Community Luxembourg 588 Posts	Posted 12/22/2010 1:22 pm Hello, I just have to share this coin. It is a jewellers work from around 1900. I like the design of this coin in original and in general I hate altered coins but this one is simply beautiful. Report this Post to the Staff

Counterfeit coins have little to none 'true' numismatic value, but there are few ppl on the boards here who actively collect them (even I have bought a few coins, KNOWING they were counterfeit) - cancelled coins, planchets, etc, all fall into the same boat... It all depends on your interest! Report this Post to the Staff
RoyalBaber New Member United States 30 Posts	Posted 12/27/2010 08:59 am Zaggy is correct. It depends on your interest. Some people are interested in counterfeits. Recently, I saw a Great Britain HalfPenny that is a counterfeit, but it has more value than an authentic Britannia piece. Teia Baber Heritage Auctions Report this Post to the Staff
