How much do you expect to get out of them on ebay?

I just sold my unplated ngc on ebay, got 78 dollars.

 

No.

 

Here's an interesting thread on "questionable authenticity":

I payed 25 for each coin, so 50 total. Possibly I could get my money back, but I don't really care.

 

What did it cost in the end to send them in for grading with shipping and what ever other cost?

​

 

It had to be "questionable authenticity" since they couldn't use destructive testing to see if a copper layer was beneath the zinc coat or not. There was no appearance to convince them it wasn't a chemically produced layer on zinc, and with thousands in the US due to the chem books and utube, that was many times more likely than a missing copper clad planchet. IMO.

about 150 for both

 

Next time you may want to send your coin for a experts opinion before sending the error or variety in for authentication. this way you can send the experts opinion with your coin and the TPG company will know that what you have is ok. This is much more cheaper to find out what you have. if the expert says it is fake then trash the coin.

 

So I figured what do I have to lose? I got........:devil:DESTRUCTIVE:devil:

but in small ways :yes:

Here is the dead proof!

CASE CLOSED

 

i also have a 1989 zinc and after processing the input from all that i read itook another look at my penny and found something odd after comparing to VDBforDave's pics. when i point out what i notice maybe youll come to the same conclusion. the 1985 is real as far as i can tell. but if you look at the outline of Lincolns bust on the 1989 there are , what looks to be hundreds or even thousands of tiny scratch marks that are being dragged away from bust . same with every inch of that coin if you look closely with the proper lighting and and eye piece. i could see it by enlarging the picture above. tell me if it looks like maybe it was chem-bathed then cleaned up to get what the chemicals couldnt.

 

I'm not an error expert, but that looks like the real thing to me, not a plated or plating-removed altered coin. The luster looks real.
