Do you have a photo of this 1936 on 1936, US/ Canadian coin? The only Canadian coin I see that was produced at a US Mint was the 1968 nickel. So...
I didn't realize the Chinese were faking this. I was thinking about the original. How can you make a counterfeit of a coin, where only 1 exists,...
It's not an aluminum plated coin. If the coin is silver plated, nickel or mercury plated it will sort of look like the color of aluminum foil.
If this coin was an accident as Condor says then I have more respect for it. I don't like those errors that are intentionally manufactured. I...
I knew that one sold for like a quarter million dollars, but I was thinking perhaps condition, and that there were lesser known examples. 4 known...
How does a Canadian penny find its way into the US mint and get struck? Or vice versa? They have their own mint. While we make coins for other...
The 1959 mule cent? Oh yes I see you are correct. That's a completely different color. I was talking about the famous one.
My feeling is that the forger used a real US cent copper blank/planchet. He claimed to have made the 2 dies via (spark erosion?) And even though...
It's very expensive to get a coin graded. If it is MS 65 it's a $6 coin and you will have spent A LOT more than that. Yes if it comes back 68 you...
The 1902 looks like it was hammered. Made it thinner and longer/misshapen. The other coin looks as it it was ground down. And got rid of most of...
Yes looks like staining. If you weigh it and it comes in at 5.67 you know it's not missing even a partial clad. Always weigh a coin first that you...
None of the coins in 1965, 1966 and 1967 have a mint mark.
Denver never made proofs. Nice coin. Put it in a 2x2 flip to protect it.
Your scale is not accurate to hundredths or even tenths of a gram. While this only goes to tenths I have used it for years for coins and precious...
I understand about Europeans not grading coins. My post was meant as more protection for the buyer, rather then to shell out a couple thousand...
So looking at the original thread, it is a cent that was struck on an already struck dime. How does an already struck dime get into the cent...
Is it the same size as a dime? What does it weigh? Better photos of both sides could help. Very often these things are faked. Hard to tell...
Acetone doesn't clean coins. It's a solvent that doesn't harm metal. It can remove organic deposits. Sometimes if it removes organic deposits, the...
Nice stuff J Cro.
If you clean it you will ruin it. I don't know about the grade? VF?
