That's the same seller who does the artificial day-glo toning.
A third possibility is that they acquired the original coin to use as a model for their fake and for their advertising. Either that or they are...
I really hate this modern counterfeiting. You can buy a (*FAKE*) slabbed NGC MS-65 Morgan on that site for $1.04. For fun, look up the...
It was the last scene of The Force Awakens, not the Last Jedi. I know no one cares but it's my OCD.;)
I agree it's a beautiful set. A very underrated silver dollar. In my set (bought from the mint) the dollar has started toning but the nickel is...
Great question for a lazy mind like mine! Ignoring the base metal coins, I get: Dime: 90% x 2.5g = 2.25g Ag Quarter: 90% x 6.25g x 5 coins =...

The state quarters are proof that collecting is a genetic disorder. Our brain tells us that these coins are common, base metal pieces with all the...
Agreed. But if you look through his offerings, he's had his work slabbed by NGC, PCGS and ANACS (all details grade). I guess money talks. To be...
Oh my, yes....even slabs his "art".... [ATTACH]...
A circulated Winged Liberty (aka "Mercury") dime. Looks to be dated 1941-D or 1941-S. Is that what you're asking?
Here it is, I'll spare y'all a click. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Thanks for the discussion on the Mercury - I almost didn't post it but I'm glad I did. I guess I just don't look at coins under magnification on a...
I should probably stay out of this thread but while looking to upgrade my Mercury set I came across this micro-S. Whizzed? It looks like a fairly...
Roman Booteen. I had never heard of him, he is quite talented. https://tinyurl.com/yarepubm
