Genuine O-104. Slightly off-center strike. Edge lettering (like many from this period) extends past the edge giving it the look of rim damage....
Ummm, could it possibly be when you stated "Somebody paid somebody off, somewhere along the way......" Accusing a commercial organization of...
And people said exactly the same thing after TPGs came about. Some still do. As Books stated above CAC is a tool; so are the TPGs. Whether or...
Yes, the graffiti can be smoothed off and the coin then polished and retoned. It is still going to be a problem coin, though. Probably not worth...
That's why the TPGs (at least the legit ones) offer a guarantee. This one will go back to PCGS for a partial refund while at the same time...
I've told the story before, but... Growing up in the 60's in small-town Oklahoma and working as an automotive fueling specialist (gas pump...
Personally, I use a pair of vise-gripes...one twist and no more scratched holder to worry about.
Appears to have been struck after the OP coin---mis-attributed as the 109 prime. I think it is clearly the "A" die state.
From the pics it looks real close, but I think that I see the outline of the other leaf--might be my imagination, though. Probably worth taking...
Got 'em both.:happy: Welcome to the club.
Just use a little Flex-Seal. They advertise it so their claims must be true, right?

I, on the other hand, quit using it when I couldn't even get my wife of the time to disrobe in my presence. :)
So, are the makers of Hai Karate being dishonest when they specifically state that I will drive women wild by wearing their brand of aftershave?...
Sure it does. The definition of the noun "scam" is "a dishonest scheme; a fraud". Overcharging for something is NOT dishonest. Nor is it...
And, once again, he's selling exactly what he says he's selling...a 468 year old coin. The amount he is asking for is irrelevant. No scam here.
hype does not equal scam. Illegality does. High (even super high) prices do not equal scam. Illegality does. The fact that only a sucker would...
And probably worth close to the same as a real one in that condition. Contemporary counterfeits are widely collected. A solid VF 1861...
Nice looking 106...a die marriage that almost always seems to be under-graded due to strike characteristics caused from a mis-aligned die.
Yes, and Hai Karate aftershave will make me irresistible to women, too. [MEDIA] There's no way to protect someone from hype.
