Is this coin whizzed?

Thank you all for your input. I really want to learn about altered coins without having to foolishly waste money on them. I knew I could count on your experience! I learned something today.


Edit...I may just change my "Blob Fish" avatar. Even though the discovery of new marine animals is interesting to me maybe I should go with a more coin related theme. Should the Blob Fish Go? Would a coin pic be more suitable? I do have a brand new picture of a squid that is interesting.

here is a good article on alterations, including whizzing. PCGS discussion on it describes some more modern aspects.

What I don;t get is that the seller claims to offer 100% satisfaction guaranteed, yet no returns are accepted. Is that some kinda doublespeak, or am I stupid ?

I found a 2010 white James Buchanan presidential dollar coin.
How can i find out if this coin is a mint error or a fake.
Thx

First of all welcome! You should make a new thread about the coin, be sure to include pictures.

 

Interesting, the seller took down the item...

 

Seller didn't take it down. eBay did.

 

True... when a seller ends the auction, the listing page remains with a note "seller ended auction early"... when eBay pulls a listing it simply says "item no longer available", with the auction page completely gone.

 

Thx for the fast response. Will start a new thread.

How do I get started with a new thread.

Just select the appropriate forum, for this case I would suggest Error coins. On the left side, below the banner, just click on "post new thread".

Oh, and please provide pics.
