Yes. When coins are in the ground, the metal reacts to water, soil, gases, pollutants, etc. and often turns black. If the rim is the same color as...
Yes very convincing. The only one that stood out as fake to me was the nickel.
You need to show the edge, but probably was in the ground.
Yes going back I have to agree with the above. The 1 and the 7 are exaggerated and 6 looks wrong.
F-12 is about right. Why are these so valuable, the mintage was not low.
They all seem correct except the 1869 does look strange. You can see in the first photo many coins have been cleaned. When you have an old worn...
Try clicking full size instead of thumbnail for us lazy people.
With a D over S you will clearly see the S underneath. So it's not that. I don't see any kind of pronounced doubling. When you look at a coin...
Only post a photo of the reverse and offer it for sale as a grab bag coin. The goo does look thinner than originally, so something happened. When...
It's a nice coin as you can see by the reverse. Perhaps the photo in the xylene looked better than it actually was. If it won't hurt the coin, I'd...
What kind of coin? Penny, nickel, dime, quarter, half dollar? Photos are important and easy to upload.
The mintmark from 1946-1964 was on the reverse bottom, left side of the torch. Since 1968 it is on the obverse above the date. There are no 1938...
Usually that is the edge of a bank tellers stamp. It's nothing. $2. You know, those rubber stamps with the ink pads.
It's true that cleaning was routine many years ago, and yours looks better than the OP. Yours may have retoned and be market acceptable. The OP...
He's talking about flipping it. If he pays $75 and sells it for $40 that's a bad deal. It might look nice but it's damaged by improper cleaning.
It's been improperly cleaned. No matter how desirable this coin is, you can't fix that. Even if she didn't clean it, someone did, and it's a poor job.
If I was selling this via Craig's list I would have to meet them in a police station to do this transaction, and then, you're still not safe...
If it doesn't straight grade, it's half that suggested value from post #6.
They both look like 1915. Too bad about the condition the 1915-S is a very good coin.
The Type 1 1851-1853 no outline on star. The Type 2 1854-1858 three outlines on star. The Type 3 1859-1873 two outlines on star. [ATTACH]...
