Hi Jim, another interesting experiment, I think the photos look fine. How long did you soak it in the verdigone? Did you use it full strength. I...
And look at this 1926 SLQ:...
It doesn't end here. This seller has already sold one fake 1932-S quarter, here is another drawing bidding:...
I think the 1864 3 cent silver is a fake too, notice how grainy it is, the terrible detail in the bunch of arrows, and the wire rims.

The seller of this item has been the subject of posts on the Coin Forgery eBay group on a number of occasions. On several occasions, it was the...
Nice post and photos. I noticed that the luster has a strange, sand-grain look to it, not really frosty. The closeup of the eagle's head shows it...
Boss, thanks for sharing your experiences with this unfortunate coin. I have definitely learned some things about what to do/not to do with copper...

A seller who has already made off with about 4 grand of other people's money has 4 fake trade dollars up for sale. They all have fat rims,...
