If we're going to limit ourselves to "deceptive" tooling, then I don't think the OP Vespasian coin counts. It's pretty easy to look at enough...
I looked at your eBay store and didn't see a single stock image except for raw ASEs listed as bullion. It's totally acceptable IMO to list silver...
Great coin and a great shot! I like how you can see exactly where the wear on the high points is. The patina is also cool. I might have guessed...
The holders may be inert, but the ink on the labels might not be. They're far from airtight, so there's also that. The Intercept box should help.
I'm not 100% sold on it being a proof, but those rims do look rather square to me. I would say if you got it "cheap" and can get it certified as...
Hard to get a read on any luster, but, based on wear, I'd say it's AU-55. Little typo in your post: Morgan designed the obverse, and Sinnock the...
That is an excellent group, @Eduard! Feel free to send them on to me for a good home if your interest in nice gold coins wanes. :P
To be fair, it's hard to capture color and luster well simultaneously because the laws of optics conspire against you.
Well, that's a new one to me. I've bought a problem coin or two (with them clearly indicating what they are), but I've never heard of a dealer...
That's insane. How many of the 12 do you have?!?!
Commit, no, but I've met up and not been disappointed.
Yeah, but it's illegal to melt the cents.
Computer glitch maybe?
I wonder how this one was discovered: someone weighing their pocket change? It's close enough to the weight of a copper cent that I can see it...
I have a couple of TruViewed coins. I think they do an excellent job of capturing the toning in its best light (no pun intended). The larger...
Heh, even if you only got bullion value for them, that would be about $2600 right now. That'll buy a lot of nice ancient coins! My first ancient...
That's a great second ancient coin! Way better than some lame old Krugerrand eh? ;)
I like the jewelry ones. Even though they're well done, something won't let me like the other ones. I guess I just don't like colorized coins...
Any pics of the whole coin?
I had to change my vote to a straight @stevex6 ticket. That Taurus drachm only having 5 points for eye appeal was a crime against coinage.
