    Looks like garbage. Huge gouge through the O in ONE. Black stain at 3 o'clock on the rev and 6 o'clock on the rev is a whole nother story.

    That being said, I'll give you $300 for it.

    Or get such a valuable coin certified.

    Only having a camera phone at my disposal, these are the best edge pics I can get. One is the penny in question, the other is a 1945 wheat. The 45 has an obvious bevel to it. Unless I'm completely losing my mind, that same bevel is not at all visible on the 14.

    I can do nothing about the picture quality. I can't make my camera take better pictures. What do you want me to do, apologize that my camera isn't up to your standards?

    Sorry, we don't all have the luxury of being able to fork over money at the drop of a hat to get a coin certified. I'm struggling and have a wife and two kids, and we're barely getting by. Spending money to certify a coin isn't exactly what I consider a priority.

    Interesting, but the last I heard, it was your neighbor's coin. Why would you have to "fork over money" for your neighbor's coin?

    I realize that post has been deleted, but it really did say it was his neighbor's coin.

    Nope, you read wrong, I said it was my coin on my neighbors ebay account, no matter how hard you try to sell that it said otherwise. And I'm not the one who deleted it.

    It's really sad that I've gone from loving this place to borderline hatred for it all because of you and another member in this thread. After someone I trust the opinion of looks at it, I'll probably be leaving. Not worth the headache from two guys who think knowing slightly more than someone else about coins means anything other than you're a bigger geek than I am. Definitely the last place in the world I ever expected to get hassled by someone.

    Here's the post where you claim I said it was neighbor's coin.....

    I still have the entire post, because I got a warning for it when it was deleted. Never does it say it's my neighbor's coin. But since you apparently have it out for me for god knows what reason, you can keep thinking whatever you want, you're irrelevant.
