Hello everyone. If i may, i would like to request to you all to help me classify my item. I did try some researches but i couldnt find a perfect match. It weighs approximately 25.37 grams and a 41 mm diameter.it has that “ R “ mintmark on the obverse and reverse . making it more difficult for me to find a match.
i simply wanted this to be identified because i want to add this item to my collection on my numista profile.
i wanted to make sure that i posted it to where it should belong.
i really do appreciate all the effort and consideration on this matter.
With due respect my good Sir, i just simply wanted to seek proper identification for my item. If it happens to be just a replica , as you possibly think ,then i can it post it down to my NUMISTA profile as REPLICA.
At least, it was officially recognized to where it should belong. lastly, for my good Sir ALM, i so sorry but its only english that i know aside from my country dialect.
thank you for reaching and sharing to my concern. I almost thought it end up as a worthless piece of item. for all i know, restrike coins arent considered fake. since they were given permission by the original producer. thanking you all again!
It is not an official restrike. It is a reproduction or replica the way this is N#121223 This one says “copy” while yours has the R where the engravers' initials should appear.
Forgive me my good Sir… but im getting more confused. As that records shows , copy penny coins were indeed officially recognized And classified. And mine, as you noticed have an initial. Which i really thought “R” is for restrike . If it is an initial, would therefore it be of some reproduction too? ,Or just another replica that wasnt officially recognized? my thanks again.
Well, its sad but i have no regret at all. Like i said , all i ever wanted is to officially know the identity of what coins i have mainly & before posting them to my profile too. And the good part is ,its a learning process too.
again, My thanks & appreciation for the time & effort you have shared.
