They’re verifying your application. As part of that process an action called “server-side validation” occurs. During this process, all of the...
I took a real good, slow look at it and before I saw your guess/assessment I came up with the same grade…AU50. I almost said AU53, but the...
I agree the TPGs need to be a better partner in culling counterfeits, but authentication is already an element of their business models. Their...
It looks very much like a “strike through”. A piece of wire or similar got caught between the coin and the die during strike. If authentic it is...
As part of a 5-coin submission to ANACS in 2015, I had a 1934 Washington quarter with an odd large lump next to IGWT that I thought was an error....
I have personally seen this smushed, melty look produced by heat, and personally own the dime where both clad layers were dissolved by acid...
Damaged by extreme heat…or partially immersed in an acidic solution…or both.
That’s a scratch on the quarter reverse. The IGWT looks like MD, and the rest is not clear enough to say except the dime is a poor one and no...
I’m onboard!…it would be my first Hungarian coin and my third-oldest. ( I have a Alex. the Gr./336BC tetradrachm and an AR Constantine) Special...
I’ll enter on behalf of @green18 …who may be devilish at times, but if you read his posts you’ll find he is a mighty fine fellow. I choose the...
I tried selling mine 6 years ago but got no traction. Maybe with the gold run-up I might now get an offer. However, since they are restrikes and...

All of you guys are seeing a problem when there isn’t one, the solution is simple: Buy the new safe and tell your wife it was the only way to...
Truly awesome! The gold bar at 27.4 pounds produces 438.4 one oz. gold coins, if it used every part of the bar. My guess is they punch about 410...
Very nice. I like the holder design. The illustration and the text really make it complete. Maybe 2 or 3 grams of gold. I get chills looking...
Beware of counterfeits, and fake holders and labels. As long as you stick to reputable sources like dealers at shows your chances are pretty...
Not quite a win. The nickel I got back was a 2004-D Jeff that had no known doubling varieties. I grumbled. (Now, that’s a die hard collector...
2 days ago I deliberately fed a Walmart self-checkout machine cash so it would give back 4 pennies…it gave me a nickel.
Actually, the OP coin is also 1848. Both coins have viii at the end.
IMO….the curvature does not look right. I don’t think any US denomination would have incomplete planchets punched with this degree of small...
