Not as deceptive as your topic headline, for that matter. In the 19th Century, casts and copies of all forms of art and artifacts were more readily accepted in schools and homes and collections than today. There was no way for many people to ever see the "originals", or even a good photograph of the originals. John Milton Gregory, the fellow who got the University of Illinois up and running (about 1867), spent lots of money on copies of artwork and plaster sculpture and even electrotypes of ancient coins. That was how you brought culture to the prairie way back in that day. I know that lots of this stuff still exists in the nooks and crannies of Chambana. oly |

Looking up the number on the coin (http://www.pcgs.com/pcgsnolookup/Detail.aspx?c=23) the type is Variety: Original - Class I, and that doesn't apply. On the other hand, when I type 25561598 into http://www.pcgs.com/Cert/ I'm told the Cert Number can not be found. Did I type the number incorrectly or is that not a valid slab? |

Came up with 'genuine 1804 dollar' when I typed it in - nothing about an electrotype -- Tony Clayton |

Came up with 'genuine 1804 dollar' when I typed it in - nothing about an electrotype -- Tony Clayton - Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Probably a "tight" computer field for the description, couldn't type in more information. Again electrotypes were well within the 19th century educational experience. The British Museum, hardly a fly-by-night institution (especially compared to all of the johnny-come-lately slabbers), made many many electrotypes and a lot of people would collect these whenever they become available. Obviously, nobody is going to pay the same money for this copy as a "Genuine" 1804 U.S. dollar (apparently none of which were made before the 1830s, themselves). If some people feel that the slabbers debase their franchise by pulling a stunt of this nature, I don't have much care one way or another. Let them debase their business and a pox on their houses. oly |
