martin3 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 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

gregM Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 Sorry to say it is fake. There have been a rash of fake 1870s showing up on ebaywith this lopsided crown.

There have been a rash of fake 1870s showing up on ebaywith 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 Edited March 25, 2008 by martin3
