Yes, well die-struck replica coins are nothing new; the Chinese have been marketing them online since at least the early 2000's. I never really...
Are you sure the coin has not been plated or coated? I'm not sure why you'd offer $50 or $100 for a coin that you believe to be fake. After all,...
I would judge the coin as nicely circulated but cleaned down to its bare metal with patina, toning and otherwise natural surface removed. How did...
Why is it that the lettering and date are distinctly doubled while Lincoln himself is not?
Typically, a hole takes 75% of the value away from a coin than what it would have otherwise been worth without the hole. However, your coin has...
I bought a full $2000 worth of $20 notes from a casino today. I don't take stats on higher denominations very often but this is what is comprised...
Not true, no. Retiring denominations would require approval by Congress. If this was so much as proposed or introduced into legislation we would...
I found many exact examples of this looking around on Google and even eBay. Exact except that I could not find the same mint mark on any of them....
What's done is done but are you still sure it wasn't you? It's kind of funny you have before and after pictures if it came from your grandfather's...
Series 2017A $100 PH-A notes were printed in February and March: https://www.moneyfactory.gov/resources/productionmonthly.html. It's just that the...
This has recently been discussed in these threads: 1. https://www.cointalk.com/threads/should-i-clean-them-if-yes-how.363521/ 2....
I am not sure why but it is a chronic issue that Verdi-Care is out-of-stock on third-party sites. Reach out to Bad Thad like Ominus1 says. While...
It's quite simple, really. This coin was allowed to freely circulate likely into the 1940's or 1950's. Such coins would be a lot more common if...
Forget the date. I'm more interested in the obverse where it looks like someone counterstamped it with "V75"? Do you know where this came from or...
Cleaning in the traditional sense will not work. What you need to do is neutralize the oxidation with Verdi-Care. This product is made by a...
There's a well-established thread devoted to strap searching: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/strap-stackers-post-your-results.66215/page-65. It...
It's not staining at all. What you're looking at is the copper beneath the nickel. Nickels are made from 75% copper and 25% nickel. The mint...
From reading the comments in the article one will see posters who espouse they have $500-$850+ worth of coins just sitting around but that they...
This doesn't solve the problem to begin with per se but you can learn how to deal with blurry photos in a post I've made here:...
I don't have information specific to this coin other than to say it is quite crudely made if it was in fact minted in the 1650's. I will also add...
