Just blew my monthly coin budget. I know the grade isn't the best but I love these coins!! Please be critical so I can learn from this experience. I checked numis, I checked the seller, anything I missed? ( 130531699582) |

The photos are fishy with the coin(s) being in different holders. And I don't know much about this series, but that looks like cast lead almost.

yeash.... I love his/her statement though..."you'll love this coin.It's nice." Very amateur ad. That's why ebay has a preview page before posting a selling item. Seems like seller was in a rush to sell quickly or is a child and doesn know any better. |

Just thought of the reason why it looks like "lead". It was scanned black and white. You can see the tell tale signs by the greyish areas around the holder.
Wonder why he/she didn't do it in color? Trying to hide something?

The coin does look like lead in the pics, but it also looks to have crisp edges in the details. The pic also seems to have an overall, slight grayish cast to it which could make it look more like lead. It will be interesting to know. Either way - you should be covered with ebay buyer protection. Let us know! How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Well...the guy lives just north of me in WA, so if it is a lead coin just give me his address.

Even in black and white the color doesn't look right and the surface of the coin looks to have too much porosity. It appears to me to be a cast lead copy. Ed ANA LM-3175 |
