Let's see the obverse.
1856 Flying Eagle 2,000
Nice doubling on the lettering. That's very bright green (verdigris?)
Do they know how many counterfeit trimes were "circulated", or in collections today? Survival rate. Being such a tiny coin, I guess it was easy to...
If you want to send it in, it's your money. But you're not going to get a 67 with either of those. The 2nd one looks a little better than the 1st.
Oh I'd be happy to find something like that. I'm sure there is a way to identify what the coin is. Just have to keep doing research, and post some...
I also thought British but the figure was posing in the other direction. But it's not my area and old British coins were common here. Keep...
Not 68. Maybe 64 and 65 tops. It has to be almost perfect to be 68. Any flaws, any discolorations, any nicks is going to drop it way down.
5 cents was not a monthly salary. http://libraryguides.missouri.edu/pricesandwages/1870-1879
1982 Philadelphia large date copper cent. Worth 1 cent.
What's the weight on the 1860 in post #8? And, by contemporary, these were made to be passed as 3 cent coins and not a better modern fake would be...
I don't see full steps. 25 cent coin in a $30 holder. I applaud the decadence.
No it's not even close to G4 but identifying it would be good. Search for some Colonial experts/threads here. Yes they made counterfeits then, but...
The curl of the 9 is the key marker, but also a weakly struck LIBERTY. The point of the 9 in the small date is sharp and blunt in the LD. Your...
MS 68, that's a very high grade let's see some photos.
Here's your reverse. The obverse is too blurry. [ATTACH]
Your article is from 4 1/2 years ago, and even though it says the gov't gave these away in 1973, the aluminum cents in question are still dated...
You might try world coins/ ancients forum for identification. How could anyone identify that as counterfeit? Whatever it is, I bet it's real. If...
If it were struck on a silver planchet, the coin would be silver.
Yes that's not true about only weighing the 1982's. The guy who found the first off metal 1983, (transitional year) specifically was searching for...
Separate names with a comma.
