Looks like it to me too. That is one ugly coin.
Yeah, that's a tough one to fix. You have to cut the coin in half, apply cyanoacrylate adhesive sparingly to both halves, re-aligned the two...
American Pickers is scripted. The prices are agreed on beforehand, and the items are "placed" in order to be "discovered". Once again, that's not...
So true... as are all "reality" shows. Even the original "Antiques Roadshow" (circa 1979) was totally scripted. But, like movies, they're still...
They just bypass one law with another (see post #19 above). According to U.S. Code § 5112. Denominations, specifications, and design of coins...
Well, the article says he used a fradulent NJ driver's license, which probably would have gotten the police involved anyway. Other than that, if...
True... he should have done what Rick does and called in an "expert".
I hear ya big guy (and it was nice meeting you at the Burlington NJ show), but unforunately even dealers are having a tough time detecting the...

All three of these coins are heavily counterfeited; the 14-S is definitely fake, and I believe the other two are also. I would recommend taking...

coinlover... I like you man, but you may be streching your "poetic license" to the limits with this gem. Hey, I still give you a C+ for effort!
I remember the first counterfeit coin I received in change... back in 1953 (a Henning nickel). Then about 10 years ago I bought a bust half...
Yep, you're right.... Chinese fakes are looking better all the time (though this one doesn't look quite as good as some others I've seen). Not...
