I wonder what this seller is so angry about. Everything about his description puts forth aggressiveness and anger. My favorite part: "BUYERS WHO...
No, dougsmit is spot on. From a quick look and not having this type of counterfeit in mind, it surely appears cast. Got me too. =)
Not only is this an over-priced magnet, but it's also highly unreliable as many fakes are not magnetic....
I didn't even consider the possibility of it being a Sheffield plate piece. I've read many of swamperbob's articles and posts over the years and...
I hope you didn't pay much, because this coin is a cast counterfeit. It has all the signs. The only question is: Is it a genuine C/S on a fake...
It shows in the legends beneath the lion.
A most unusual piece indeed. I find it odd that a merchant would stamp another merchant's advertising coin and leave the original stamp. That...
Well, there is a special service for unusually large or odd shaped coins. They do get slabbed, it just costs more. Personally I don't slab coins...
It's kind of odd that there are repeats of some stamps on both sides. Also that it has the same amount of stamps on both sides. Typically they...

Believe it or not, there are copies of pretty much every date of the Cuba 1915-1949 silver coins.
He's probably out looking for a second coin to spam the forums with.
WOW @ the second and third coins. The 1862 over-strike varieties with stars are highly desirable. I've seen fairly high grade 4 kop do $800+ and...
The coins appears to be a legit and high grade example. As for the bumps, I'd have to pass on making a guess. Since the coin doesn't seem plated...
Yes, this one is unfortunately fake. There are way too many irregularities.
It's a re-punched date. Not particularly rare for these coins, but definitely will add some value.
This effect happens when part of the first strike's details are overlapped by a flat field on the die in the second strike. The same is observable...
Well if they were die chips they should not affect the weight. I wish the pictures were more close-up because the lumps could be casting defects....
Separate names with a comma.
