Are they counting on a toning premium?
I'm glad that it worked out for you.
It would be fun if you could counterstamp the word "copy" big and bold on the obverse of the coin then send it back.
I like the 62, that one looks flawless.
Since when does Congress worry about the cost of anything? Since the cost would passed on to collectors, why would they worry about it anyway....
It looks like the same fake coin to me. Send it back.
I would love to see the entire US type set restruck in their natural metals. They should carry a date that would have originally been on the...
Lots of PMD.
Maybe this one will change your mind. I personally consider the classic simplicity of the three cent nickels to be one of the nicest designs....

I don't own this anymore, but here is the only chain that I have ever owned. A nice 1793 S-3 PCGS VF-30. [ATTACH]

Separate names with a comma.
