Hi Eduard, I think the NJ piece is a Maris 24-p, R-2. At least, it seems to match lot 440 in my copy of the autumn 2007 Rosa Americana fixed price...
It looks ok from here; but I'm no expert. Just don't try to clean or polish it, that would dramatically reduce the value to a collector.
Most of these replica sellers have an email address in their listings, and if contacted would be happy to supply fakes w/o the 'replica' stamp;...
I agree that they look like fakes, possibly a ferrous alloy with a silver wash or plating that is coming off. I'm pretty sure the weight will be...
I think it would go AU, but the mark on Liberty's cheek might be considered a scratch, and there is some disturbance (?damage) in the field in...
It's easy to see how someone could be fooled by one of these, if the photos are the typical small ones used in eBay auctions. They don't stand up...
A fun read, and looks like a great token.. congrats!
Wow! That cent's in great condition. Who knows how long it's been sitting around in a jar or a drawer somewhere. A great find.

Interesting info, Bill! Is there a good book on SLQ's I could buy that has tidbits like this in it? If not, please don't stop posting all this...
Well done, rld14! I would have missed this completely. Thanks for taking the time to assemble this thread(with images!). It's a big help to many...
I'm glad you got a good deal; perhaps I am a bit too cynical sometimes.
Some experiences with this seller are on the eBAy coin and currency discussion board, "New Coin Scams Thread." personally, I think buying one of...
I looks like you would get a common, worn coin worth about melt value (currently about 8.00) for your $19.90. I imagine you could buy them cheaper...
Best of luck at the auction.Perhaps you would consider a post about some of the coins you viewed, prices realized, etc- I think it would make...
I believe that the coin that started this thread has been sold. rld14???
Another choice coin, Eduard! You guys are fountains of information, always fun reading these threads.
Can't wait to see the future additions-- look like a really nice work in progress.
