how did you get this coin? I am asking since these are very heavily faked. These are fairly scarce if real, but the US has been flooded in the...
I thought it was wear as well. I will admit however I have never liked US grading worn dies as MS. Its a very pretty coin. Please be sure to...
These replicas have been made for years, even in cereal boxes if I remember right. Probably 1000 of these for every real one, and in a non...
/agreed, and in that answer lies yours fiddlehead.
I agree, Nope. Some of us here do know how to do this, and even AT tone a coin to look like NT, but its best left unsaid. Information like...
I agree that you could take it to a show, but I also believe the 1915 is a fake. One of the things I notice is the horn. Especially S mints that...
I have to ask, since this is a bullion forum, isn't this what you are really doing anyway buying PM? I mean, a commodity is independent of any...
Fair enough Chris. I just thought both parties were overstating their case a little. I try to correct mistatements for the benefit of lurkers as...

Interesting. Its always good to see how markets can disconnect. I have another one. In dairy milk powder frequently trails the cash market by...
Another really nice unusual Republican Mat. Very nice and interesting. I always love Victories and how a lay person think its cool an ange is on a...
It completely depends on the source. I would think either an old collector or an old dealer, (brick and morter shop), would be best. I bought mine...
Pawn stores in my experience are not good places to buy coins. I have never seen even a decent deal at one. I was one in Branson just last week...
Never said worthless, just impairs the value if it is whizzed. Look at the coin under the light with a glass, and see if you see tiny scratches...
A person would whiz a coin to imitate luster. If you whiz it it will appear to an inexperienced collector the coin surface has the pop like luster...
My 2 cents, (all an opnion is really worth), is its not HIGHLY doubtful at all. Just because it has corrected does not mean $38 is not...
Penguin....now THAT is a tough coin. I thought my animal was bad, a rhino on an ancient coin. I have a few, but they are all quadrans of Domitian,...
