I recently bought two commemorative coins (sesquicentennial and stone mountain) that I saw were fake once I saw them at home. Do the counterfeit...
Once I get my camera to computer working, I will photograph it and show that no damage was done. It was only very loose dirt on top of the medal....
I am not sure what this is made from, but it seems to be very tough. The white covering though is extremely fragile. All the medals so far have...
I doubt if I did. White medal unlike silver does not scratch easily. Also, I used something that is used to wipe CD's DVD's etc (a CD surface is...
I do not recall any edge lettering on the medal. Actually these pictures are from EBay. When I received it, I gently wiped the surface dust off,...
I recently purchased a medal which is not listed as an SCD. It is from the 1876 Centennial Exposition. A similar one is currently on EBay. The...
I am afraid not. I saw the other white metal one and was close to getting it, but I did not watch the countdown and lost that one also. I did...
Thanks for the input, I have stopped bidding on this. The price was getting a bit steep for me, and the SCD does have some dings on it. It is...
These are the pictures as shown on Ebay. Before I bid any more I need feedback PLEASE.
Thanks Chris that was one of the first books I bought. The major distinguishing item between the two is the size difference one is 57mm and the...

Two medals of the same so called dollar are on Ebay. No mention of the metal is really given. I am suspecting one is silver and the other white...
All I have in cameras is one used for general pictures. (about the same as what was used by the person originally photographing it) Is there...
I would like to get it graded because in mint state the medal alone is worth 200 to 1000 dollars (before the rise in silver prices). This has been...
I assume the first thing to do after I receive this is to get a good picture and get it graded. I found someone close to me who will take care of...
[ATTACH][ATTACH] I may have just made up for the bad purchases I have made. I just bought this so called dollar on Ebay. This medal in the...
Thanks for the information. I assume it oxidizes easily.
What is the metal used in late 19th century white metal US medals?
Condor thanks for the information. Thankfully, I received most of my purchases today. I am still amazed some just placed the coin in an envelope...
Until I get my books on medals (one of which I will get tomorrow), I need to depend on internet information. The internet gave three stories...
