Hey gang! This coin crossed my desk this week. You can see from the pictures that this coin has some heavy PVC contamination. The color you see...
The coins that come with it look like spendable money to me. Minus the 90% half which is worth a little north of $13.... so around $65 in coins....
haha! I was just giving them the option to be %100 sure. Lots of people don't trust the opinions of people they have never met on the internet.
A hit like that could put a small fry out of business. So you ordered 240 pieces from China and got it within a week? I'm impressed.
I would recommend sending it in for certification... the mouth for some reason looks strange to me. The tops of the 7's look too fat to me as...
Looks copper to me.
Judging by the pictures there is about 90% chance it's not genuine also...

PF67 red money is a whopping $25 in PCGS's price guide... it's already more then double that...
Honestly the toning is really cool... but those carbon spots are a huge turn off for me. I wouldn't spend big money on that coin.
I don't think the grading companies certify silver rounds. It looks like it was struck through grease... no biggie for private mint stuff.
I would like to integrate a coin show schedule to the website... but I don't have the time at this point to collect the data and keep it...
Just walked in the door like everything else.... needless to say I didn't pay a premium for this one.
I'm thinking of sending this one in for appearance review for kicks... what a dog. I wonder if it didn't tone in the holder??? Or if someone put...
