Claiming to have removed it from the slab made me suspicious, but the offsets looked correct. Too bad no one posted the images.
I know it's a pipe dream, but those "experts" should vet every coin that gets posted there before it's allowed. They've been skirting the law for...
Barcode scans correctly.
@gabepn you asked about specs, which implies that it would tell you something useful. So how about telling us the weight and diameter of this coin?
I don't understand why anyone would spend that much for a raw 1889-CC on ebay. To me both coins are counterfeits. Look at how wavy the bottoms of...
Just click the uspatterns link in my previous post for a list and links to details about the 44 different half dollar pattern varieties in 1877....
Its FS to me but I disagree with the designation criteria. It's supposed to be a strike designation, not how many bag marks there are. Bag marks...

@Pickin and Grinin Good eye. There are 2 coins on Heritage (a 3rd is a duplicate sold twice). Both have that die scratch. There are several other...
Coin ID 000000? Pic is crystal clear but the barcode won't scan. This one...
I'm curious about the provenance claimed as well. It's possible their great great grandfather worked at the mint in 1877, but they'd have to be as...
Not the same coin. The coin in question purports to be Judd-1510, 5 known to exist. They have two threads going, the other one here...
Whack-a-mole
I hit the back button and abracadabra alibaba, the listing is gone.
Then send it to a TPG for authentication. Only 5 of these exist.
Compare yours with the real one posted above. Yours looks like a cartoon. Look at how chiseled and flat the letters are on the real one, whereas...
It's fake. Here's a real one....
