Rhino Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 I recently came across this token and was not sure if it's authentic, or a private issue from 1896, or even a modern counterfeit? I haven't seen any other ones like this... opinions? authentic? what do you think is a fair price for it? Happy holidays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennysky Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Hard to tell, but doubdt someone would waste their time cutting dies for NII Jetton. Probably a private issue, but I have not seen one like this either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a private issue, but I have not seen one like this either. What do some of the regular private-issue tokens go for? I haven't purchased any tokens and was not sure what a fair price for NII tokens would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKB Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 copper/bronze -- 100 - 150, depending on condition, etc. What is this one made of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted December 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 Not sure what it's made of, and the seller does not know either... I'm waiting to hear back on how much they want for it. I might take a gamble if the price is low... it seems that whoever is selling this isn't the one who originally acquired it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKB Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 it seems that whoever is selling this isn't the one who originally acquired it. That would be normal in a situation like this, because a person who "originally acquired it" is long dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted December 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 That would be normal in a situation like this, because a person who "originally acquired it" is long dead Very true haha. I just got an email back from the seller that he would accept $65 for the token... I know you said $100-150, but is that a realistic market price, considering the scratches on one side? It looks like a crack, the seller said it's surface scratches and isn't deep. It sucks when there's nothing to compare this to, never seen this design before for the 1896 ones.

alexbq2 Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 This is a private issue brass Jetton. I would buy it for 65, but that's just me. P.S. I have one of these on Omnicoins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKB Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 If it is brass, it is silvered. I would not buy this, because it is not my cup of tea, but the price does not sound exorbitant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
