Gordon Williamson Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Anyone else spot this onehttp://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...focusZbsQQfviZ1Apart from the obviously incorrect ribbon, the core looks pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Y Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I don't care for it. The casting is typical of an early sand cast core, but the Oakleaves are more in a later style with the curved stem and upward pointing acorns. The spacing of the 1813 is rather strange, too.

Stogieman Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Concur with Tom, not at all like any I have seen from 1813, 1820-50. Crappy detail.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biro Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 It's a Prinzen remember gents - and damn close to the way good originals look.I would have at least asked for better photo's of the oddly spaced date area to make sure that wasn't just a trick of the light...I don't hate it..Marshall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling this one might just have been good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKeating Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Its appearance suggests an issue made between 1860 and 1900. Just a gut feeling, looking at it. PK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Sorry guys, but as a Prinzen piece I like it even less. The quality and the core strike are really crappy. I've only handled a few correct 1870's and only one 1813 prinzen... quality was way higher than this piece... if it was a correct prinzen, sold in Germany, I'd wager it would have brought at least double the hammer price..
