There is currently a Wagner 1870 EKI for sale on eMedals for $3850

Nightstalker's is not authentic (value, maybe $100 as filler).

If the eMedals piece did not have a replaced pin I would say the value would be quite a lot more than they are asking -- thousands of dollars more depending on pin type (1st type needle pin or 2nd type swollen pin). Also the eMedals piece is being auctioned, so add 20% or whatever the buyer's premium would be.

Originals are extremely desirable these days.

Damn i really was thinking this was real, so i will not buy it.
Comes straight from german private so i was doubting a bit. It comes from a lot and all the others were real. Although i find it strange that the zero from 1870 don't fit in the cross. too bad.

Do a forum search on the "9th bead fake"
You will see many more like it.

The original pin on the eMedals cross should be the needle type IMO
