Moderns aren't too bad at all. 2016 Tanzania 1000 Shillings Antiqued High Relief - PCGS MS-70. Mintage: 999. The texture is incredible... But...
Yes, there's a slight attraction like on a real silver coin example. I think that a possible, definitive way of figuring out if it's a fake would...
The coin weighs 26.6g and it's non-magnetic. The reverse letters appear to be doubled, some much more than others. The biggest issue for me is the...
Maybe the grainy devices is indicative of a cast counterfeit?
Bump - does this coin look authentic? Or is something amiss?
Is this a 1922-P Peace Dollar from a medium relief die? The obverse doesn't match the medium relief die seen on the NGC coin details page....
I think if the buyer cancels the transaction after you offer a refund, then the negative feedback can be removed. You can also explain the...
Ahh, I see. Thanks for that info. That's strange that a PL coin with PL qualities won't be PL. They must have some other standard for PL coins,...
I've read that the 1892 Columbian Exposition commemorative half dollar proof has two definitive diagnostics, one on each side of the coin. From...

I collect some Korean coins! Mostly turtle ships... Anyway, I'm always on the look-out for these below, and they are most definitely highly...
As I took a closer look at what you all were referring to, I noticed some other traits. Namely, at the bottom left of the star - at first I...

So it's probably not worth paying for the extra Mint Error attribution cost, right? I always try to upgrade my coins whenever I can, so maybe...
Bump - does anyone think it's a die clash error in between the "III" for the reasons stated in the previous post above?
And, is this a die clash with the horizontal shields showing between the "III"? The "III" device would be an incuse on the die, so the shield...
I think this has to be the smallest coin in my collection! Anyway, I think I must submit this to NGC to protect this extremely thin piece better...
Yeah, it's pretty difficult to tell from my pics, so here's a zoomed in portion of what I'm referring to. I'll have to look up the 1863 Longacre...
This one just came in. I see some verdigris spots, but I think that a bit of distilled water, acetone, and xylene might help it; otherwise, it may...
And, by obverse I mean reverse... the side with the "50 FR" device. So, TPGs wouldn't count hits like this on the rim as a Details grade?
