I see that last one got the orange hoodie award. Seller said they paid $60 for it. Yikes. "Coins" with those same markers are on the Chinese site...
Images for later when the listing is gone. It shares the markers identified above. [ATTACH]
Uh, you bought a counterfeit? I guess it's amusing but I'm not sure how I feel about supporting them with a purchase.
I also said 7 because the proof isn't a circulation coin and the 1982-D small date copper you might as well buy lottery tickets instead of...
Not sure how we got to Lincoln cents but here's a 1941 Canada 50c with a crack developing in a nearly identical way as your 1943. Took these pics...
Visually the two CCs have the same barcode. I can only get the first one to scan but it returns a gibberish 8 digit number. [ATTACH]
In high UNC there is a small value guide difference between the types, fun to find all 7 but not something you'll get rich from. You can learn to...
I don't think that one is genuine. As mentioned above, the waves look like junk, the lower hat brim on both sides disappears before intersecting...
Of course, the illegality occurs upon import and subsequent sale. Since they're not being passed off as currency, the US Treasury / Secret Service...

I suppose showing off your 1804 dollar is motivation for some, but mostly it's just people getting duped, with a large measure of blind greed...
That gouge across the eagle's breast pops right out at me now. Thanks for fighting the good fight.
There's also a hole in the spar (?) that appears to be on both examples. [ATTACH] I suppose it might fool somebody but the stormy sea looks like...
Not sure if I understand the motivation here. Even if it got PR68 it's a $20-30 coin.
I think it's the same reverse die as the fake 1878-CC you posted yesterday, passed around too many times. Blech.
Not sure what you mean. "Black beauty" nickels have been certified as improperly annealed or improper allow mix, I think mostly 1958-59, and they...
I guessed and then cheated. Close but no cigar.
The CCs are too big and some lower wreath leaf tips are floating too. Here's seller images for the future. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
