If I use my imagination, I can see some of it in the design. I wonder if it's common to wind the text in multiple directions to get the design to...
Yes. File a SNAD and notify eBay that the seller illegally listed and sold a counterfeit coin before returning it. The seller probably won't...
Chargeback, SNAD, return. The seller sent you a fake coin, so they shouldn't be trusted to refund your money. This is why the chargeback first.
Tricky to critique some of them, because I don't know what the coin actually looks like. I'll start with the AGE. The coin looks too dark, with...
For comparison, do you have the ruler's name written normally?
Irrelevant with respect to a Tunisian coin, but this discusses copyright disposition of US designs, coins, and photos of coins quite thoroughly:...
Here's a 1543 Thaler form Saxony that I added to the Prime Number Set a while back. [ATTACH]
Barber wasn't a buffoon. He was a great technician when it came to creating designs that would optimize quality of strike and die life. He was...
The coin looks crunchy, but the picture is lousy. It could go 62-63 at PCGS or NGC. I don't think there's a green bean in its future in a 63...

I won one of the "Silver Tickets" at the ANA show so that I could buy one of the Director's Strike coins. PCGS sent reps to the mint booth to...
Can you get a close-up picture of where the wings meet the legs at the bottom of the wings?
Heavily worn. Looks like a real 1878 8TF.
A bit confused. The mystery grade coin is in a PCGS slab and you're showing an 1803 $10 in an NGC slab with a rim ding by the Y in LIBERTY. Did...
I'm not in the game anymore and the contestants have chimed in, so I'll armchair quarterback this and say the 1803 $10 looks like a wholesome...
Soaked in acid. The copper layer dissolved faster than the CuNi layers.
I think these are unflattering photos of a straight graded AU53 with a CAC sticker.
Good move. I've had this in my "5 required coins for a US collection" list for a long time.
There are hidden pictures on this site that I used to make an online attribution guide from. Took me all of 5 minutes, so it's not pretty, but it...
