I'm not sure what this is. It appears to be a French token that was holed for use as a charm. Any information or value estimate would be...
Out of curiosity, what did you end up getting?
I'm a bit confused here. Was this a fake that fooled NGC?
Heck, I might be being a lot harsher on this than I realized. A quick scan search on closed HA auctions pulled up *this* one graded MS62 BN:
I'd like to confirm my estimated grade. Despite the one side having a minor rim ding and slight porosity throughout, do you think this would...
Dangit. It *was* lint. Buy 3 die cracked coins in a short period and you start seeing die cracks everywhere. Took a serious Big Bad Wolfing to...
The stickers do add a small premium, but I'd only keep them if you eliminated the possibility of a valuable mint mark hiding under them....
I picked up a few neat things. Mostly common dates in the high AU to low MS range:[ATTACH]
Considering their scarcity, it's quite reasonable that they're often overlooked.
It's definitely not a hair, but a "whisker" of metal.
I wish I found a project like this. Those are a fascinating set of coins and ones that we come across very rarely in Texas. I have only a few of...
I wonder if the scrapped coin was kept? Also, I'll add that this was the 2nd US Commemorative. The 1848 "CAL" gold pieces often get overlooked:...
I'd go ms61 to 62. Nice coin, especially considering it's right at the start of the series and has a few decades on younger examples.
I'd put a low bid in. 2 or 3 of those look legit, and if the auction has any built in mechanisms to compensate for fraud, you could easily avail...
This appears to be the small 6, stemless variety. Is there something similar to the VAM community for early American coppers? This one seems to...
This is why I do not post photos of my coins along with their cert numbers. Best practices - just cover that number with a post-it!
I picked one of these up recently too. The 3d effect of the cave made me wonder if it was caused by die clash at first. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I have a few in plastic too, as well as some older brass ones. I recently picked up a variety of prison tokens from the Cumins State Farm in...
No picture came through with your post, and my crystal ball is in the shop for repairs.
I picked up a worn-to-death 1877 penny from a junk bin the other day. While attributing it, I came across the delineation in the catalog between...
