I'm not saying this coin is fake, but these have been counterfeited a great deal recently, and the price would not be a steal if they are fakes....
LD In the SD the 9 curls around more. And LIBERTY is weakly struck. [ATTACH]
There are some metals with similar density to gold. Tungsten is almost the same. It may not be gold all the way through.
I really like that hair detail on the 1820 largie. And Doug I will double your money on that 1917-D no stars SLQ.
Nice ring Richard. When I hit a silver ring, sometimes it sounds like a dime, only better. So when it pops out, I know it's silver. Good one.
Canadian dimes that are made of nickel stick to a magnet easily. But the US nickels are 75% copper I am not sure they stick. Checking...........
It was a rough one but at least there's a highlight. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

There's BILLIONS of 1982 small dates.

And what exactly is this test that can tell you if it is NT or AT?
The Etsy coin listings are always a fraud. I have contacted them, but they don't care.
What does it weigh? And I don't mean 1 troy ounce 31.1 grams. On an independent scale.
If you like it, it's only 50 cents. IDK what CGS is. There's a good chance if you get some rolls of nickels at your bank, and search through them,...
That's a large on the scale. The one in post #1 is a small date Philly. Notice the 2: [ATTACH]
Would be ridiculously rare to only have one side of a coin. 2 coins would have to be in the hub at the same time (if that's possible). One with a...
It's almost 100% not going to be silver. Where's the profit for them? I imagine they would use silver on a rare date counterfeit.
I'm not so sure I agree about this whole FBL scam. (I am not saying this coin doesn't have FBL). What I am saying is, ALL MS Franklins should have...
