You are thinking about this from the perspective of very modern technology. Think about the technology that was probably used to create these...
See, @ldhair , what did I tell you. After 3 days of nonsense, smoke blowing, and bloviating on the NGC forums, somebody got (what I believe to...
These are from the #1 All-Time Finest PCGS Registry Set of Lincolns. They will be on display for people at the FUN show in January. You can read...
Wow. Once again, great work, Jack.
That's a pretty decent die break on a modern coin. What does a later stage look like?
What did you submit? Show us pictures and let us guess the grade!
It's a cool story, and great for the guy who found it... but there really is nothing rare or valuable there. That "top coin" is worth $2400. If...
I'd say for $10, why not. But $500... that's ridiculous! Or is that a typical price, Frank?

If they don't sign their work, or if they don't have a super distinctive style... it is incredibly difficult to identify the carver.
The top one is a problem free AU-53? No way. Not a chance. Be very careful when buying foreign coins in PCGS slabs, is all I'll say.
I got distracted and forgot to come back to this thread after the obverse picture. I'd say, I'd be very happy with that at AU-50. Collectors of...
I don't understand why that folder has so few spots per page, and then stops half way? I assume there must be a second folder? Just seems very...
I'd lean towards fake, because raw trade dollars scare me (as they should scare anyone). However, with these small pictures, it is hard to tell...
You really only think that way because that's the way you've always thought, and the way you've been taught. Think about it like this - a 10 in...
They likely got a hoard of them, and submitted them in bulk with zero pre-screening. I believe that dealers can submit anything over 100 coins for...
I am oversimplifying, to make a joke. But yes, that's what I mean. And it was precisely because one team was using metric and the other wasn't and...
I mean, besides the rocket we crashed onto mars because we forgot how to convert units? But hey, whatever, right?
Hard to argue with that, I suppose. Thanks!
Well, I agree with Pickin... I won't speculate on a grade until I see the obverse. Not sure what point you're trying to make, but I guess we'll...
