I think I came across one yesterday. I didn’t have time to scrutinize it but I told the proprietor it was likely fake. I’ll return this weekend...
I found it during a nickel CRH event. Tossed it into the foreign coin can for a few months before realizing it was a gold Ducat. Machine wrapped...
Have you come across a 1955 LWC counterfeit?
I never bought any gold coins or bullion...but lucky enough to find this - [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Have a look at the second link. If you look through the text, you'll see another link to coins that have their plating removed. Either way, the...

Nice! Which reverse on that second 39?
It's doubtful that you have all of the population for WDDR-030 and Wexler attributes various Stages to different folks. It's important to note...
It's unfortunate, but keep in mind that you can buy an MS specimen for a buck or two. Experimenting on 'disposable' coins first can help you when...
Do you have links for us? We can have a look.
Agreed. The portrait remains the same size but the lips/mouth are reduced. A pretty extreme example, worthy of an educational piece.
I'll add that there are hybrids like transitional cents (CAMs/WAMs) where the wrong pairing of a properly manufactured die contributed to a variety.
I suspect a novelty collector coin liberated from a collection. If as suspected, these are sold on TV to mainly unsuspecting individuals (usually...
That's why I was leaning towards a minor lamination issue. But a burnished mm can appear as a lamination error. I'm not sure from the photos,...

Separate names with a comma.
