I don't know if I would call it amazing, but it is pretty cool!
I just do not see the die markers. The pictures are so pixelated it looks like dots and bumps all over the place.
No, the mint never made an 1851 Indian head dollar gold coin. The genuine 1851 gold dollar was a Liberty head. The ones mentioned made in China...
The best thing for you to do is study up on the minting process. It is a pretty straight forward process. Once you have a handle on it, try to...

I believe you may be correct on the first coin, a filled die. The second one is just damaged though. Someone pressed other coins into it. One...
Yup, I think I know who this seller is, lots of complaints. You can collect any way you want, but think about what nice coins you could have...
Did they say why they wouldn't grade it?
I guess I never addressed the value of the coin. If it is a common variety probably $20 to $25. A rare variety could be up into the thousands,...

Different reverse designs ere made in 2009 for the bicentennial of Lincoln's birth. None of these are rare. You have to be really careful with...
