When you get to very high grades (67, 68) the coins are almost perfect, with tremendous luster, very minimal "bag marks" coins that bump into...
I think under the "new" definition it qualifies as a binary, and doesn't have to be all ones and zeroes. Binary meaning just 2 of the same numbers...
Counterfeit. They didn't have any wheat reverses in 1959 and if they did, more than 1 coin would have been produced by high speed machinery. Yes...
Why wouldn't the owner have it certified as genuine by a top grading company prior to auction? Once you get into 4 figures I think this should be...
Such a bad repair on the hole. $50?
I think from the style of the S you could figure out what decade the coin is from. With a bright light and a loupe, you could also look for very...
It's not the good one. And there is no melt value for pennies.
This is a fallacy. Copper has never been higher than $4.63. If it was legal to melt pennies for their copper it would have to reach a price of $6...
The 1969-S DD shows extreme doubling on all the lettering and date. You wouldn't need a closeup of just a couple of letters. A photo of the whole...
Actually this is not as likely, because of the size of the coins. It's easy for a penny planchet to be stuck in some part of a machine. And even...
I did notice some black marks on the rim, unusual for a proof coin. Unless it was out of the OGP during it's journey before it was finally...
Already answered this on another thread. https://www.cointalk.com/threads/how-to-tell-if-its-aluminum-or-just-plated.105322/#post-4189372 It's not...
The coin looked incredible. Fantastic details. They said the one that sold was a little better. The one in the link is the same grade and it says...
Well, he may not actually have bought this coin. When they started doing the show, he wasn't really allowed to buy anything. (On TV, all staged.)...
Cleaned and possibly AT. Way too much wear to have any luster.
It looks to be missing the 2nd printing. Very rare to escape into circulation. The 1st printing is the reverse, and the 3rd printing are the seals...
I'm not a Pawn Stars fan, but here is an ACTUAL 1922 high relief (PF 61). So that's pretty cool. Because when you win an $80,000 coin in a poker...
Blurry photos of a circulated and dirty coin. I don't mean Davy in particular. But what is the current fascination with finding errors on coins?...
The small date has a graceful swan's neck 2. The large date has a sloppy 2. Compare all the photos provided. Notice the small date is away from...
