1773 Virginia Half Penny Found yes I found this one

Looking at the photos again, I still don't see anything that would lead me to be suspicious of it being a fake. Looks like a pretty nice planchet, appropriate wear, nothing I would associate with a cast fake.

Isaiah, look at the wear pattern on the obverse. I have seen many cast/electrotype counterfeits and none of them can easily reproduce that pattern. Furthermore, I don't see any problems with the fabric of the coin. Tell you what, open the image of the halfpenny in paint and draw little arrows to what you think are problem areas.

 

I'll have them posted the day after christmas.

 

Thanks, I needed that!!!

 

I disagree with the both of you on all points.

 

Does your mommy know your playing coin collector again?

I sure hope she buys you a new shiny helmet because the one you wearing now doesnt seem to be helping. (Waterhead)

You have failed to answer any of my questions on how you became so knowlegable of the counterfeits?

 

Your downright abusive and shall be blocked, but just so you know, I have read the definitive illustrated 1976 edition of "the standard catalog of counterfeit and altered coins" it features a length section on your coin, abuser.Also I have 2 counterfeits, and 6 colonials. Have a merry Christmas.

 

you wouldnt happen to have a wooden spoon would you

 

how is this relevant? Also I removed you from the list long enough to answer this. Yes I have 2 of them.

 

First off Im not abusive I'm just stretching my legs on that first admentment you of spoke earlier.

Second when i posted the original comment it was part of a post that I posted before. It was just to show you something I found.

 

Then all is well.

 

The chance your $7 Trade Dollar purchased from Asia is virtually zero. I have a better chance of being Santa Clause. The fact that you are so adamant about it being real and your history of calling obviously authentic coins counterfeit shows either your extreme ignorance for the hobby or your love of troll-like behavior. I'm honestly not sure which is true.

 

neither is true. It is the correct weight. 4 independent reputable dealers have told me it's authentic, and there is absolutely no lack of detail nor any sign of a counterfeit.

 

*gets popcorn* :eating:

 

this is rather dramatic.

 

yeah, but funny!

 

What is the old saying?
“It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.”

 

How is that relevant?

 

About as relevant as Yoko Ono......

 

laying on the floor, choking and laughing.

Ahem: Not that there is the slightest thing funny about Yoko Ono. But then again.......
