Given that it's probably only worth about 10x what you paid... yeah, I suppose you did okay. You can do better next time.
Seriously? Wow. Even with your good pics, I could swear the coin looked AU - and definitely not 65+! Dang. Teach me to ever grade from pictures.
Larry, this is one of the hardest you've posted in a while. I could be convinced that it was an MS-64. But, I'm probably more convinced it...
I'll be honest, comparing them to the genuine coins you posted, these don't seem like very convincing fakes.
Your coin appears to have spent time in a parking lot being run over by a Mack truck. There is no error there, only damage.
Can you show us a genuine example for comparison?
Those pictures are terrible, but I'm seeing an ugly coin, poorly struck, with minimal luster. There may or may not be some rub on there as well,...

The answer is - yes, technically they are different. However, the differences are extremely minor and there is no consistent way to tell them...
This picture doesn't show it well, but there is doubling on the ear, eye, nose, etc. The simplest explanation is that the doubling is rotated...
They aren't faking any old cent. They're attempting to fake the most famous double die obverse in all of American Numismatics. In high grades, it...
Oooh. Even with the ridiculously low quality, out-of-focus pics, its' clear that this is a fake.
You mean Proof-shiny? I agree... these pictures can't determine Cam or non-Cam, and can't really determine grade. I suspect it's somewhere...
With the number of hairlines on that piece, I'd say it has a good chance of going "Unc Details - cleaned" if you cracked.
Yes, I am an active member here and I am happy to answer any questions you have as you read through the book :)
"Color transfer" might be even worse! That is essentially staining, and is even harder to remove than some verdigris or PVC.
