For business strikes, sure. Not for proofs. Proofs were individually made on a medal press, at higher strike pressures. They were also often...
Yes, thanks. The group of 6 sold for $78.
That coin looks to have been stripped and polished down to that awful white. It looks like someone was attempting to artificially tone the coin,...
For anyone curious, I sold this one on Ebay last night for $42.
For anyone curious, I sold both of these on Ebay last night, for about $20 each. A bit lower than everyone was predicting.
For anyone curious, I sold the 1917 on Ebay last night for $57, and the 1923 for $30. So, it seems @Bradley Trotter was just about spot on!

The one in the original post? If you ask us and its literally unanimous that it's fake.... why even bother asking us? Why in the heck would you...
Oh that's beautiful.
I'm sure its genuine. However - this seller is notorious for deceptive photos which hide problems. I'd guarantee that coin has been cleaned, and...
