Betcha Want One Of These

How sweet it is! The photos speak for themselves. It's dated 1870-CC.

Oh so beautiful!

A slightly different angle to show how reflective the rim in question is.

And the reverse. Notice that one little problem at the top of the shield? Just under the Eagles neck?

It reads COPY. An 1870-CC Double Eagle. So nice but alas, it's not real but I only paid a dime for it!

If it was made after 1973 it's not in compliance with HPA. COPY has to be incuse.

 

Looks incuse to me...?

 

Thankfully, a coin where the word COPY was not really needed, but glad they followed the law.

 

COPY is incuse!

 

Yes, I'm glad they did.

 

Good deal. The American Mint (no relationship to ours) originally made similar for $79.95. Mintage of 9,999.

 

best dime you'll ever spend I just marveled a dollar checking it out!

 

Wish it was real

 

Oh yeah!! You bet!!

 

I paid $5 for this one and $5 for a 1933 St. Gaudens. I was in a pawn shop when the pawn shop dealer wouldn't buy them. I gave the guy $5 for each of them.

 

I so much wish that our mint would go back to these early Liberty designs.
Enough of the Dead Presidents already.

 

Or even living ones! agree'd

 

Sweet!

 

Yes, it would be nice to see anything on a coin that relates to Liberty and Freedom.

 

That just goes to show that many of us need to look at a coin long and hard from all angles to really see what it looks like. One must be diligent in the purchase of coins.

 

For a dime it's not gold. If not gold it doesn't need an incuse 'COPY'.

 

It's a COPY of a Twenty Dollar Gold Piece, not a dime. Look again. TWENTY D. is on the reverse at the bottom.

 

Yes it does, John. It is an imitation numismatic item, regardless of what it is made out of. That means that it is required to have the incused "COPY" mark.

I could quibble about the depth of the mark and the letter of the law, but I give them many points for the good faith effort.
