I wonder if the point was really deception with some of these, as there were no genuine half penny coins of this type minted in 1787 or 1788.
The ideal situation is that everyone can grade like the best of them. That will never happen though. A 4 point grading scale is more similar to...
Wouldn't you want the global shipping thing on? I haven't used it yet myself, but this is confusing lol
It's a matter of search options. Are you selecting search filters for all items on ebay.com or worldwide? Also, are you searching within a...
I remember reading somewhere that the 1944 ones did not have the signature hole in R, because the absence of a mint mark was enough of a signature...
Considering that some contemporary counterfeits reach into the thousands of dollars, $50-$75 is really not too bad if it's something you really...

No, they are loaded into the die by hand and extra care is taken so they do not hit other coins. This is especially the case with proofs.
Just wanted to note... often times they use pictures of a genuine coin to sell the fakes.
Looks like some sort of clash. Since it's in relief instead of incuse I would think something hit the die and cause a small impression. Could have...
These are not uncommon. They are gold washed and intended to pass as genuine, but the copper color wears through quickly. Basically, they are...
Awesome site, very useful and works really well. Four thumbs up
The one on the left is fine, the one on the right is a non-regal issue (a.k.a. circulating counterfeit)
Ah yes looking closely it has the double die reverse. Good call Jes
