WOW! This guy is an all out scammer. People are paying him BIG money for junk. He sold several "IHC-Flying Eagle" rolls with garbage in them....
The 31-S is a well known fake, it has the text book features, the L in LIBERTY against the rim, the wheat grains, and more... The second 31-S...
Label them so you can compare other coins you find to them. The 1960P small date looks the same as the 1960D. Notice the 6, it's easy to see.
Good luck putting your collection together! It's a lot tougher than you think.
Definately acid exposed, PMD.
Thanks for the pics! It looks a lot better now and you don't have to worry about the verdigris eating away at that spot anymore. This is a text...

Well founded theory IMO. That is a given. It's sometimes painfully obvious. I think both services pick certain coins on occassion to be made...
Nice additions RLM!!!! Especially loving the 36-D and the 1940. I have a weakness for redwood. You have a good candidate coin for VC in the 26....

I agree, #2's are not from grease filled dies at all. The D was polished off of the die due to a bad clash. It was bad enough the reverse die had...
Submitting common coins to TPG's for learning how to grade would be an expensive process. If you want to learn, go hang out at a local coin shop...
The 98. 99, 00 WAM's are fairly easy, the 99 will set you back a few $$$. You can pretty much forget about the 92 CLAMS, not only are they very...
