They look like 3-r's, there not the flat back bear.

Novaln1975 - Write to the seller and ask him if it is an original Bear Coin from Grayling or if it is a reproduction.

His description leaves a lot of wiggle room for interpretation when he states "This is the same Standing Bear Medallion found in hundreds of Vintage Bear Bows"

He does not state they are original vintage coins...

I just punched the BIN and bought one, 50 were available for purchase.

When it arrives, I will post a close up photograph of it.

If it is not an original vintage Bear Coin, I will also post a photograph of a comparable original so everyone will be able to see the differences.

As collectors, we should all be aware of what is original and what is a reproduction.

All ready sent the seller that exact question this morning. I'll chime in when I get a response. - Simon

The coins are reproductions. Just got the confirmation from the seller. - Simon

Hope they are closer reproductions than his 59 strike plates.  Check his other listings.

I have bought those, and the ones from 3 Rivers-can't tell the difference; look like newly minted coins of the new style.
