They are all like that. They don't bevel the rims on proofs. My 2000-S looks the exact same way.
I know next to nothing about ancient coinage but I agree. 99% its a cast fake.
I'm in Cleveland. I wasn't alive in '89 but I remember the '98 and the '04 tornados. And in April of '08 I was standing outside when a funnel went...
Alright guys (and gals), A few months ago I posted a thread about a set of "50 State Pennies" I have. Several people expressed interest in a set...
After doing plenty of research and looking at this coin through a loupe, I have determined that it is an early die state of the WB-104 variety...
I didn't realize they were that rare. I mean I knew there weren't many out there but 20 years and not finding one..... I've only cashiered for...
Haha yeah it does. Beautiful. Its also got some golden toning (my favorite) that my camera refuses to show. Its not astounding by any means but...
I'll try that tomorrow. Too tired right now. And that dark spot is on the coin. Its not as noticable in person but its still distracting. Its my...
I've been collecting for six solid years and I'm still a newbie. While the first four years I was stuck without a car and only got what I pulled...

Do you have a link to a site with all the varieties? I love this time-period and would love to learn everything I can about the switch-over from...
Thanks. :) I like it too. Mostly because its an O and it was minted immediately before the civil war and during the term of my favorite president,...
I think what I'll do is arrange some way to bring it back if it turns out fake. The people that run the place are really nice and I bought some...
Welcome to the hobby! I personally hoard all the S-minted cents I find. Even though they're not even remotely rare, I enjoy getting looking for...
This 1861-O Seated Liberty half is for sale at a local antique mall for $45. I think its a deal but idk much about this design. I know the pics...
I have noticed that there are a bunch of posts with links to crazy e-bay auctions. So I figured why not start a thread to post all of them in. If...
Of course they still do, its just not very common. I've seen plenty of bills with advertisements stamped on them (mostly vote for so-and-so). And...
