I agree with this dude. Hard to be sure with the photos, though.
I do not care for the coin. It is one-sided and spotted and IMO not really an RB coin -- and three strikes and you're out in my book....Mike...
FYI, and Hobo, I'm sure you understand this, specific gravity of die-cast fakes can be correct in some cases, and SG can only be used to...
p.s. it appears from the photos that the coin isn't getting all of its light from the axial source -- some light is direct. The OP might consider...

I think that timing the market rarely works, and you should hoard/collect what you like, not what will make you the most money. But that's just...
Dealers? Heritage? B&M? Stacks?
Snaz, I really like the look of that coin -- that's what a circulated Lincoln is supposed to look like, IMO. Great coin! Congrats on the...
It might be easier, but I'm not so sure it would be better. Said another way, art in the name of deception and profit is not art, it's deception...
OK, tmoney, I have a question for you. Now that you've focused on MS 63 coins, are you starting to see the difference between a high-end and a...
