8. In 2021, a Replica #4 was created and is also known as the "smooth headed eagle version." This coin was the creation of a former TEAMs guy. There were only 50 made, and please do not confuse this coin with the original 2011 TF-Raven. If the eagle looks like the one circled in the last image, it is NOT the 2011 original. The coin company was helping to design and make every minute change requested by the buyer. The buyer wanted a sample made, upon seeing the sample coin, the buyer thought the designer emblished too much. In other words, the coin was not an exact copy of the original 2011. Seeing this the buyer said he no longer wanted the coin and stuck the company with the diecast fees. The company seeing that it was a SEAL coin decided to make the typcial discounted minimum of 50 coins to recoup the money he lost on the diecast. The owner of the company was unaware of the significance of the TF-Raven coin until later and doing research, and be contacted by collectors via Facebook and eBay.
