I don't know world coinage at all, but both of the above coins are castings. I recently thought of the perfect punishment for counterfeiters . ....
Okay, here are a couple of coins I'm not offering on eBay or on the website . . . good buys on both: 1840 Seated Liberty Dime WITH DRAPERY,...
I bought a nearly identical coin dated 1988-P for $23 and sold it for $40 back in 2012. Not only was it struck with clashed dies, but the dies...
Go right ahead . . . I'll watch!
Good news . . . The seller and I have exchanged numerous thoughts about the coin, and he is going to give it further consideration later today.

You need stronger shadows and contrast in your images . . . you should photo the coin instead of scanning it, which will permit you to tilt it...
UNC Details (I'm assuming those are scratches I see on the eagle's left wing)
Not in a country where good pay in a factory is $2 per hour.
This sure looks like offshore marketing of fake US coinage through eBay . . ....
MS66 seems likely to me.
Wartime silver blanks were approved for production on March 27, 1942, following extensive experimentation by metallurgists to identify an...
I looked at all of the coins from this submission and do not think that, on the whole, the grading is all that bad. I personally, would swap...
