I'm seeing many signs of casting on the obverse too with the larger images. Sorry @cash4coin I hope you didn't get taken on this one.
I'm having a hard time imaging the (artificial) luster, but it was lightly polished and dipped in the past. I don't see any distracting lines from...
I may try doing this with my 44. Looks decent in the image, but it was clearly fooled with in hand. [ATTACH] It's really a shame too, it sure is...
I told her that she needed to change her name to the cent lady and she gave me the stink eye. Rick Snow got a good laugh out of it though. Really...
None of us think you're a moron. It's true that this is a fairly high quality fake and is pretty convincing with the small images.
The edge reeding looks pretty good to me too, but all of the marks on the reverse sure seem like signs of casting. [ATTACH] It could be genuine,...
Cast fake. The reverse really shows all of the problems.
I agree with Greg, starting price is already full price for the coin. I would say that everytime that I have recieved a coin from Great...
PR-64. As far as concervation, the milk spots on the reverse are part of the coin and cannot be removed through conservation. Some of the light...
A scratch does not affect the grade of a coin rather than not assigning a numerical grade. If a XF-45 got scratched, it would then be an XF...
It would need to be PL on both sides of the coin to receive the designation. Edit: I didn't see the reverse image at first.
I know enough to know to consult a dealer who I trust if I am not certain about a purchase. My point was that very rare and expensive coins have...
It's been Brillo padded for sure, but I don't believe whizzed. Seems like it sold a little high, but not high enough to make me think that anybody...
An old wrinkly twenty dollar bill or a classic silver dollar with plenty of meat left? No contest, I think you did just fine. I would say that...
There is also one on auction records that has been described as PR-64 by Breen who is considered a bit liberal with proof designations, but I...
I tell ya that would be quite the score despite the fact that it is impaired. Do you have any images or the cert number? That would be number three.
I'd be surprised if it got the CAM designation. Just don't see enough contrast on the reverse; both sides of the coin count in this regard.
VG-8.
I suspect that it will just be more of the modern variations. I'd be surprised if they now would include some of the pricier early coins. If this...
Those were the only ones that I saw. Somebody paid a really big premium only to sell them for scrap.
