Please! Somebody help this member with an answer so I can find out, too!
Woodgrain toning is very nice.
Agree with Mad.Outcast on this one; it looks like someone used a grinder, belt sander or Dremel tool on the coin.
Given the additional post you put up here I can tell you that I have more advice for you. That advice would be to learn before you spend. Your...
Collect coins the way you want and do not always hold to what other people think you should do. However, I will tell you that the cost of an...
The top one looks to be a modern token. The bottom looks similar to ancient Greek coinage, but it might be a modern reproduction or fantasy piece.
Terrific score on getting the dateless 1916 from a junk lot. This series has many difficult coins when looking for pieces with full, strong dates.
It's exciting to get into a new series and is quite a bit more rewarding when there are those who have been around a while who are willing to...
I would submit the coin for certification. The mintmark has me somewhat concerned in that the upper and lower serifs should be parallel to one...

That die clash is sooooo cool!
Many circulated coins will exhibit hairlines simply from the act of being handled and slid across surfaces. Has this coin been cleaned? It's...
Did you buy it from a shop? If so, then certainly you can take it back, but it will be up to you and the shop owner to determine if you get a...
I would not buy that coin as "original".
Excellent point and tidbit about the 1904-O Morgan. Those that held that coin prior to the US Treasury release in the mid-1960s were hammered...
I like the NM Seated halves. This past weekend I was also able to pick up a pair of Seated halves, but they were the WM halves of 1868-S and 1876-CC.
Don't kid yourself. The dealer knew exactly what he was doing and he sized you up as someone who might not realize what he had and who would be...
That doesn't look like gold.
