Getting back to the authenticity of the coin. What does it weigh? I assume they can do a metal analysis without harming the coin. Is there a...
I read that also. "In 1987, Baller sent the coin to the United States Department of Treasury, and agent Richard M. McDrew responded with a letter...
Spender. Damaged.
Initially I thought fingerprint. (Before reading other posts.) But I don't know, and it's an odd pattern. While it may not be struck through...
I have found silver dimes on the shelf at least twice. I can envision someone putting it in and having it rejected a number of times when they...
1955 S is very common in high grades. I doubt this is MS-65 and more likely worth 0.75-1.25.
The patina on the war nickels are very different. While it is possible that some 1946 nickels were struck on leftover war nickel planchets, this...
It is a very good story and part of numismatic lore now. When they auction this coin, do they put the disclaimer that they take no financial...
There are errors, when something is obscuring the note, and a big patch which should be inked, is white. In this case I'm not sure that's what...
If it were genuine, then the same reverse die would have struck 100,000 coins. If the wrong die was used (and I don't think they were) and then...
Call the Secret Service and have them arrested for selling counterfeits.
A coin should be worth a decent amount of money ($150-$200), or require authentication, (to determine if it is actually gold, or if some rare...
I might go F-12. Hard to tell from the photo.
Yeah something about the cheek and jaw chatter in the OP kept me off it. It's such a beautiful coin.
If the only known example is not real, there is no DDR for this coin. The IN GOD WE TRUST is not even close. This would be hilarious if it's not...
Markus grading is expensive and even if your 1943 was MS (it's not) it still wouldn't be worth getting graded. Very often these coins were...
While it is possible for a 1946 to have been minted on a leftover silver war time planchet (without the large mint mark). Again, it's highly unlikely.
If it was natural and original, but I don't think it is.
Just glancing they all look bad.
While it does look like a floating roof, the condition is an issue.
Separate names with a comma.
