    1870 core


    Recommended Posts

    I know it ain't much and chances of being real are almost nihil.

    But I think you can understand I could not leave this one when finding it in a marching medals box, priced ? 1 each.

    So let me put it this way: this is a restrike, isn't it?

    A little too undamaged for such an old core, I thought.

    It just didn't belong in that box, so I took it.

    Best regards,

    Martin

    Sorry to say it is fake. There have been a rash of fake 1870s showing up on ebay

    with this lopsided crown.

    Thanks for your reaction, Greg.

    So this was probably made to put between a real 1914 core.

    I can't believe people would actually ruin a good piece, but alas...

    1 euro well spend to study a fake!

    It could have been worse.

    Best regards,

    Martin
