I saw the nice grouping of coins that you posted in the Gallery. Very nice. I must say that coin collecting has proven to be one of the most pleasant pastimes I have encountered. Thanks for the nice photos.

I used to collect as a child and just started back in this year. I started by getting the coins I always wanted as a kid and it tool off from there. Very enjoyable!

Out of curiosity, was the seller in the US? It is my understanding that it's not legal in the US for reproductions to be sold unless they are clearly marked as such.

No they are out of China. Where else? LOL

Got a few of these reproductions (1841-1849) on Amazon for $40. I know they're not real but I liked the detail and new condition.

Tossed them in the back of the safe for future conversation pieces.;)

Unfortunately that's very common when buying shotgun penny rolls on eBay. They bait the roll with a single IHP and the rest are 1940+ wheaties. I have had some luck on eBay though. I did get a 1909 and a 1909 VDB in two separate rolls. 

Any suggestions on where to get better quality penny rolls for a decent price? I'm always looking.

I was gonna say a Civil War token but the was was well over by 1873. Some for of token though.
