It looks like the domain expired and someone else picked it up..... whoops.
If you zoom in you can clearly see it is in fact an 1896. That coin is worth just a little more then a nickel.
I agree the 1798 is definitely a common cast counterfeit.
Not going to hurt now.
If it crosses I'll be surprised.
I'd agree. It's an error but a very common error. If you do a search on EBay for CUD you will find hundreds if not thousands of similar errors.
I think it might have been net graded for an old cleaning. This might also explain why it's STILL in a rattler holder. Because it might no grade...
Man, what a mess. At least you did get in contact with EBay via phone and it seems that they at least did the right thing... after a big...
This is exactly why EBay is frustrating. It seems he got a good deal on the coin. He gets it and doesn't like it. Straight away goes to...
We get these every once and a while. Just politely explain that you don't do partial refunds and if he is not happy with the coin that you'll...
As a young father in the coin buisness I can only begin to describe the pressures and stresses that are a part of my life. I can really empathize...
There is something... but it's worn as well. It is more apparent in hand but I caught it as best I could. Click the pics to blow them up. I had to...
They start off around $40-$50 and can be worth $100-$200 if uncirculated.
Someone in a machine shop has machined the obverse off the coin. It is just a damaged dime.
One of my employees handed me this this afternoon while going through wheat cents. The MM looks to have the right shape, is in the right position,...
It was a nonsense "pattern" coin struck to test the new golden dollar blanks. Like the 1974 aluminum cents they were all supposed to be returned...
How strange. I know for a fact that PCGS would not grade this piece which has a similar history. It was returned to the owner recently along with...
If it is genuine it's worth between $100-$200. It would be worth more with a date. The reason I say "if it is genuine" there were/are counterfeit...
Still no explanation from him as to why he cashed the MO but you never got any coins?
It does not look genuine to me either.
