I can't see the hole either, can you point it out?
Actually struck in England for use in Ireland. They were not popular in Ireland but were pretty heavily used in the American colonies. Syd Martin...
Proof coins are specially struck for sale to collectors and not made for circulation. The blanks are specially prepared, cleaned and polished....
Just a normal Philly dime unfortunately. The odds of a no mintmark proof showing up in circulation are pretty much zero.
Not all of the states produced coinage. New Hampshire [ pretty much unobtainable], Connecticut, Vermont, New Jersey and Massachusetts produced...
It certainly is interesting, and especially with another nickel with the same date stamped also with a backwards 4. I can see why the original...
XF does seem about right.
As far as condition, the pictures are kind of fuzzy. Is that damage at the top of the reverse?
Unfortunately, no it is not real. It is a cast replica.
Extremely unlikely that it is real, could be one of the early restrikes. Can you post pictures?
Definitely 20th century not 19th but can't tell you anything else. Pretty neat copy though.
I believe it is a Maris 62-q. One of the most common of New Jersey coppers, but an interesting variety.
No, it is a genuine 1787. Looks like a Maris 62 obverse, if you post a reverse picture someone may be able to ID the variety.
They weren't made in 1737, just 1786 to 1788. Can you post a picture of yours?
Agreed, they are all fake. Unfortunately there are a ton of these on the market.
Both are cleaned and damaged, not a lot of value but still nice pieces of history. Produced during the civil war!
No error, somebody drilled a hole in it, pretty much kills the collector value.
I agree there is more to this story, we need to know exactly what Larry Briggs' response was.
That is better than an Ike dollar I won on Ebay, they just tossed it in in a regular envelope and mailed it. It ripped through and never made it...
Will be interesting to see the results, thanks!
