It's interesting to me that these dramatic coins have seen circulation.
It's a very slight shift. The more radical the better. This one is a dollar.
You can't really have a modern d/d over S if the S coins are only proofs.
It's not worth having graded. The amount of time, trouble and expense to find someone to buy this for a fraction over face is not worth it to me....
That 6 did look wonky before I saw the real one. I assume the genuine is silver. What is the counterfeit composition?
It's not silver. It's not on a wrong planchet. The 1st and easiest test is to weigh it, since the plating is so thin, it won't really affect the...

Sanskrit is an old dead language. This could be (guessing) Ottoman Empire, India, or Iran. The world coin guys will know what this is, because...
How much did the ring weigh? I was just guessing at the weight based on size.
On the small date the curl on the 9 bends around more. The 7 is higher, and LIBERTY is weakly struck. On the inside of the 9 it will be sharp and...
When you upload the photo, try using full size instead of thumbnail. The ten yuan is tattered. Note collectors are fussy about that. There's only...
I can say this, you don't have an experimental coin.
Separate names with a comma.
