I would agree with contemporary counterfeit, or "non-regal" issue as collectors like to call them. It's pretty close as far as these usually go,...
Over 500 coins, all mint state red and all dated 1935 (lowest mintage date of series). Many have small brown or black spots, many do not....
I agree that's it contemporary. There is little collectible value in this particular coin to fake it for numismatic purposes, but good reason for...
Definite fantasy crown, made in a variety of colors including copper, silver, gold and this one which is "antiqued" bronze.
This is one of the most commonly faked coins that I have seen. So many modern copies, probably because the simple and crude design is so easy to...
That's exactly my point of confusion, there is nothing brown about it. The color is consistent throughout, probably just the angle of the photo....
This was an exciting and unexpected find among a group of coins and I wanted to share my excitement. When these coins were minted (in San...
Anyone familiar with this series? From the research there are early, middle and late types for this year. The Krause plate coin is the late...
I don't generally go for slabbed coins, so not very familiar with the guidelines. This coin is slabbed by NGC as MS-65 RB. However, it has full...

Yes that is a very real problem, but terms such as "honest" and "honorable" in feedback typically indicate a compromise rather than an oblivious...
This may well indicate the seller realized it wasn't the real deal and seller did not give them any problems with refunding their $$.
Worst case scenario, put it on eBay with a ridiculously high buy-it-now price and allow best offers... see what kind of offers you get and then...
Try a light rub with a well soaked alcohol pad, just don't let it get too dry. I have had good results with removing dried glue and other...
Here are a couple recent foreign coin ones I had bid on (though not necessarily won). It varies in that sometimes you can see worthwhile coins,...
$50 is a bit high for the grade, but a nice coin nontheless.
I can personally vouch that it's much easier than you might think. I have been buying lots on eBay for almost 7 years now, and overall making...
If buying single coins with the intent to resell for profit, it's certainly an uphill battle. But when buying multiple coin lots that appear to...
Perhaps from a philosophical standpoint. Practically speaking, if you purchase a lot of coins for $100, keep one coin that sells for $50 and get...
Separate names with a comma.
