Crusin1 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Hello folks! So I came across this coin at a yard sale, was just a sack of old coins from different places. Most were foreign except for this one. Tried to google it but could only come up with coins that almost looked like it but not exact. I am guessing it’s a duplicate of some sort since it doesn’t look gold. Looks kinda like a old penny color. I also weighed it on my food scale hehe was 27 grams. My question is the value, what could I expect from a dealer? If there’s any sort of market for a copy. Any history or way to tell how old it is? Thank you for any help with identifying and dates.

Mr.Bill347 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 The first thing I noticed was that it wasn’t marked copy, which there are numerous numbers of. The one reference to it was Bonhams and I don’t want you to get excited about it before you find out if it is authentic, but the coin sold for $44,000 ! https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/21868/lot/1505/ my advice get it authenticated !

Fenntucky Mike Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 A reproduction and only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. A few dollars maybe. Mohawk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
