I also thought fake immediately, and the cleaning is a way to hide that. Even if it is real what is it worth $3000? My spider sense says it is...
I thought there were 2 dimes, oh well. Some interesting coins. 1 dime. 50 euro cent from Germany. 1 Canadian dime, 2 5 pence coins England, and...
This Liberia coinage is quite nice. On the OP coin, with the magnification, are those carbon spots on the rev?
They all look absolutely fake. There is no silver patina at all. The designs are mushy and the toning/patina is exactly the same on all of them....
The war nickels are all 35% silver 56% copper and 9% manganese. The weight remained at 5g as all nickels from all series are 5g. The new composite...
George Jefferson? Well he is movin' on up.
I never assumed it was there for more than a very short time. A recent drop.
Where I live all the parks have been cleaned out (I spoke with an old timer who was in a club with hundred of detectors and they have gone over...

Not being an expert on this issue, but this coin appears to be a regular 1922-D weak reverse, with damage to the MM that someone tried to remove....
The problem with the luster on a cleaned coin, is you have scraped away the patina and a very thin layer of metal exposing a shinier layer...
Initially I was a soft AU- cleaned. But after reading the comments, XF- cleaned seems correct.
Don't understand any of this. If you don't have BOTH bills that are matching you have nothing. The photo isn't a star note. So they are claiming a...
I'm sorry. IDK what I was thinking, I have been sick the last few days. Yes the steelies will stick to a magnet because of the iron content in the...
Plating doesn't have to be magnetic. Only nickel, iron and cobalt are magnetic. Because US nickels are only 25% nickel they don't stick to a...
If it were a genuine 1944 steelie the value is incredibly high. USA Coin Book lists 30 of these pieces. IDK how you can be certain it was...
