Let's assume that the paperwork wasn't part of this set. These coins were struck in proof like condition. As far as I am aware, counterfeits do...
This to me looks highly like a genuine set. Definitely not 1 ounce as stated. Would like closeup photos. The reason weight would be likely all...
A counter strike is when you play too much computer games... That said, it looks somewhat unlikely to be an overstrike. I'm not familiar with...
debshugg's 1894 1 yen coin looks genuine. Would be nice to know the weight of this coin.
I do hear you. They do exist but are quite scarce and when they do appear on the market - command some serious $. Some of my better ones from...
It needs to be corrected, it's not the big nickel but the big aluminum! Wait, it shouldn't even be called the nickel plant... That said, it's a...
I was hunting this for quite a while. This particular coin only affects Denmark 1812 12 skilling which is overstruck over 1771 1 skilling. [img]...
Very nice coins britannia40. Speaking of Xinjiang coins, I found this hiding somewhere in my stash of uncataloged coins. This is somewhat...
I am under the impression that the graffiti (writing in red ink) would affect the grade. Maybe it isn't the case...?
Scarce or rare dated aluminum coins have been counterfeited. I do have some scarce Chinese (Manchukuo) examples and needless to say, I have got...

If anything is of concern, it is the overall patina that I am genuinely worried. It looks strongly like the super counterfeits that have been...
Went and got this off ebay. This was described as a white metal error coin. The original coin is a bi-metal coin. Some pictures [img] [img]...
Why not have both? I highly recommend making a digital coin album. It does take time but it's well worth it.
You sure they don't taste like coffee as they might have been used for stirring? ;)
Definitely looks cleaned to me. While it might seem to be die polish, there are clear signs that the portrait has similar polished after mark...
I guess my best advice is that prior to releasing it, I would forget about it for a day and return to proofread it. This way it will give you a...
The only thing that bothered me is the Cyprus 2 euro which is out of line, otherwise it's well presented.
Very nice set of copper coins - it would be a high ask to find something better condition than them.
This should be technically called overdate instead of overstrike. I see overstrike as using old coins as planchets to create "new" coins.
