<p>[QUOTE="Joe2007, post: 2635461, member: 1262"]These are really poor reproductions/fakes, especially the 1803. Does not look anywhere near what they should. Mushy and lacking of the level of details that legit examples should have. The 1847 is a bit more deceptive but not much, also lacking of some detail and the rims of the coin are off. Both these series of coins are highly faked since they would be worth big money if legit. They are not 90% silver like they should be and are cast instead of struck. These are found at flea markets and Chinese online sellers everywhere, they have saturated the market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
