BTW we are frequently amused by american love for slabs. I'll keep my thoughts on origins of this infatuation to myself. but looks like some people can just make money out of nothing - and I like it. go-go-go-go!

yeah, here in Russia it's very popular coin too (for British and colonies coins collectors) - I'd say it's a key type . like a Gothic crown, but much more cheaper. well, 70% of SPINK price (I have 2003 edition at the moment) - 140 UK Pounds? that's all? yes, coin has few scratches at obvers - very light but they are visible

well, no ideas?

what is a real price for this coin? NGC slabbed - MS-63 thanks lot! P.S. I'm not looking for a book price - just want to know REAL market price

not bad too thank you, Chris

thanks a lot I have catalogues - spink, coincraft, krause etc but sometimes best way to use all this paper - in WC (sorry) so real price in UK for this coin - about 100 Pounds?

how much can it cost? no traces of circulation, bright and full red coin thank you

thanks a lot, Rob!

have you actually encountered something like this, and if so do you know the name of this process? or are we talking pure theory here?

about galvano:

it's a very simple chemical technology to make copies of coins or medals - do you really need a description? it's from 1850x years - simple and old technology - I don't think you have no idea about it. LOL? BTW i have no idea how it's called in Enlish but in Rusian it sounds like Galvanocopy, Galvanoplastics and so on.

in my previous message I'd lika to say this: josie, even if the seller has a good rep, they still may not pay close enough attention to all of their merchandise and let a fake slip through.

I'm sorry josie, but have you really know the record of the seller and its records of complaint to not to buy a fake?

looks like a galvanocopy
