What about people that like ugly coins? My coins are old and ugly.

 

The first coin might be a Kreuzer with unidentifiable date, the second coin is 10 Pfennig from 1959 with a mineralized reverse.

 

Another Kookaburra

How is this coin graded?

 

Here's my NEW BIRDS TOO!

 

a few more...

 

You can grade it on the fly

 

That is right, I have a Silver American Eagle, that is not ugly. My Indian Heads are not ugly either.

 

I have, but it's not gonna be my catch so I'm more interested what an Am. collector has to say.

 

Partial of this one as it just glows in hand but I think the UNC 1876p in my set is my best Trade 1$

Hey all, take a look at the CA Half in Post #260. I'm seeing a fake - what do you all think.

 

Yep.

When a coin looks odd (like the California half IMO) it is an indication that the coin could be suspect.

 

What makes you question it's authenticity? I don't see anything that screams fake. It looks a little cleaned to me though.

 

I look odd, but I'm not fake!

 

I know Ripley ultra sonically cleans her coins which leave the surface very shiny and this could trick ones eyes into thinking it was different. BUT I don't know much about that particular coin, so if you see a problem with the strike, then you might be on to something.
