Question

1849 ten dollar mormon
I'm trying to figure out if this coin is worth anything. I will attach pictures. They seem small. I'm hoping that you can enlarge them to get a good look. When I tried to enlarge the picture, it became blurred. Thanks, Gail Beard

Answer
Hi Gail, this is a replica which has no real collector value unless it happens to have some gold content. The genuine piece is extremely rare.
Here's another like yous:
