In my mind Carr crosses the fantasy boundary with his 1964 Peace dollars, since they were actually minted. Maybe Smith falls in a similar...
Considering it's supposed to be 90%, seems like the reading must be from plating, although more expensive Chinese fakes claim to be silver. I...
Nice coins. The designs are quite interesting. Reminds me of our visit to their coin museum a few years ago.
First cut them in half and see what's inside.
More coffee... [ATTACH]
I'm not sure what you're missing. Looking for love in all the wrong places? :) 1870 shallow N is PCGS #408017 and also FS-901....
I'm just saying it might be obvious. I agree if it was copper clad it would be about 10% thicker, but they probably don't waste good copper on...
Looks like the same garbage reverse as the @Jack D. Young ones - gash in left eagle's breast hard to see but there. Not sure why anyone would buy...
I was thinking just put it between any other .90 half dollars (1964 Kennedy, Franklin) since they're all 30.6mm and 12.5g, see if there's an...
I did say gold.
Odd that ebay killed the listing but you still received it. Do you still have to pay? Good to have one for the specs I suppose (especially if you...
Which one? The one you bought?
You may be thinking of tungsten, used to fake gold coins and bars, as it has almost identical atomic weight and is not magnetic.
This is your first line of defense. Unfortunately the notion of making a big score overcomes all rationality for a lot of people, which is why...
I got a Kanaka Ole at the beer store the other day. The 25¢ symbol jumped out at me. I really like the design. I've gotten the Bessie Coleman too....
Yikes, did you really pay that much? I looked it up. I suppose you can return it once you've measured it and know it's fake.
Thanks, I was too lazy to look up the designs. The lip around the counter-strike made me think it was done like the bi-metal coins in Canada,...
The barcodes on the bottom 5 all appear to be correct. For two of the NGC ones the prongs are not the same. I assume all the ones on the right are...
I'm not familiar with the sizes of these, so is that a restrike or is it a real half embedded into an ASE?
Abe got some extra lips. Looks like it only had time to get run over a couple times in the parking lot.
Separate names with a comma.
