What I want to know is what he would have done if they refused to accept them.
Once the obverse hub was redone in 1886 I believe Longacre doubling on the obv is no longer seen. but the rev hub was not changed so the working...
That's what I would think. It would be interesting to know the weight. Was the off-center C-2 cut down to make the planchet round again before...
.097 grams The reason Mike was able to get the fakes and replicas off of ebay in Canada is because in Canada it is illegal to sell a...
So do the new ones, just not the same countries. :) That's become the problem with the Krause catalogs there are SO many errors and deletions...
Looks like it has glue on it that will probably come off fairly easily with a soak in water or acetone. The only "error" I see is die...
The 71 to 74 silver Ike did not come in sets, they were stand alone coins. The 76-S silver proof Ike did come in a silver three piece...
The ANA show opens to the public on Tues the 13th thru the 17th. Stacks Bowers has a pre-ANA auction Aug 9 -17 (Viewing 9, 10, and 11 first...
The 1879 3 cent nickel slab looks fine to me. The NGC 2 cent piece on the other hand looks overgraded to me. I would't call it any better...
Very interesting piece. The coin is a 1795 C-6, but I'm fairly sure the first strike on the reverse is NOT from a C-6. C-6 used rev D (per the...
Can't tell anything from those pictures.

No opinion on the 1884, it's out of focus.
I agree on the 220 obv. It only comes with rev's 322 and 327. If it is 327 he's got a good one.
That's why in my first post I said 'if the manufacturer was following the law". I realize that a lot of them didn't/don't bother to.
That depends on the item. Commemoratives usually have their mintages set in the authorizing legislation. Mintages on the bullion coins, proof...
Yeah they look like BB's
It's hard to say (I would really have to see it in hand and even then it can be questionable) but I think you are in luck, I believe it is a...
OK it's a scan, that helps. My first thought was that it looked so off that it was probably fake, but a washed out scan of a heavily toned coin...
Only thing i can assume is that is is struck on a planchet punched from rolled thin strip. I considered if it might be punched from dime stock...
Separate names with a comma.
