My current Indian cent type coin is a proof. But I do not presently own a (slabbed) copper-nickel- only the raw one being given away here- and...
Indeed it is, and Potty's is nice, too. What's the grade on that one?
This sounds completely plausible to me, and would account for the somewhat cruder appearance of the thing, which made me guess a bit earlier in time.
That's because he's @Abramthegreat - no addtional "ha" in the middle. (An easy mistake to make.) Good on you, @Newbee03.
Excellent! Thanks for the update! I'll update the summary below the intro. You're the first to receive his prize from one of the drawings in...
So now we come to... ROUND 8. The prize for this round is a... United States: copper-nickel Indian cent, 1863 [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
OK, it's time for the drawing for Round 7. Our lucky number was... 241! [ATTACH] And Post #241 was by... @Newbee03! Congratulations,...
Even if it's not the "right" kind of doubling, it's still a pretty nice looking 52-year-old cent.
All gold, not bimetallic. But it is kinda neat how the bowsprit pierces the border, there, as if it's about to sail right out of the reverse of...
Yes, her illegible coin is definitely a George II copper. He ruled from 1727-1760. I think it's most likely a halfpenny, but it could also be a...
The gaming token is likely from the early- to mid-1800s. It's old, but not as old as the "1790" date indicates. These were made during the...
I'm stumped, and I'm usually reasonably good at the "guess the coin type" game, at least for Western coins. This looks pretty old. Not ancient,...

I think when the one I bought has comparable professional photographs done of it, the eye appeal will be a good bit closer to that of the PCGS coin.
An AU is plenty respectable!

How sure are we that it's silver? I mean, for it to come out of the ground with that whitish color, that would certainly seem to be the case, but...
Ahh... one other factor just dawned on me. The NGC coin I bought from Michael is a 1787, while the PCGS coin is a 1788. The 1787 is a bit...
I saw this PCGS VF30 1788 Massachusetts cent on the Northeast Numismatics website, and liked it. I also like doing business with them. So I...
This is the nicest 2c piece I ever owned. (I sold it and miss it.) I think it deserved the Cameo designation, but it was graded before PCGS...
