Art1.2 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I don't have many coin copies but I do have a few. Personally I consider them exonumia and see nothing wrong with having them because I like the design and I'll probably never have the coin that they represent. For example I have a copy of a Fugio Cent. It's actual size and weight and done in copper. The copy was made by the Gallery Mint Museum at a FUN show I attended a few years ago. What do you think? Have any to share with us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 That is nice!! I used to have a white metal continental dollar (probably made in the 70s when a whole bunch of stuff was made for the bi-cent), but have no idea where it is. It was one of the few times I intentionally bought a copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saor Alba Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I managed to buy most of the coppers that Joe Rust and Ron Landis created during their heyday. I have the complete set of 1793-6, and then the 1799. My favourite is the 1794 starred reverse. In the past I would buy them in duplicates and keep a few as pocket pieces but invariably I lost them over time. One thing I have noticed since GMM is no more is that the pieces have done well price wise, collectable in their own right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
