I can neither confirm nor deny at this point. I was merely responding to your reasoning for not giving it a star.
Your coins look like charicatures of a real coin. I have a high degree of confidence that yours are not authentic. Compare the details on yours...
Funny enough.... I was doing some research for a recent purchase, and this thread popped up in my Google search. I decided to go back and research...
That appears to be a gorgeous example of an early cent. Rather high grade, and appears to not have too many problems. Is there something more...
I would do it for a few reasons. If: 1. I liked the look of circulated coins. Some people prefer to collect circulated coins, coins which had...
Your putting blockers and masks on Lady Liberty? You're taking this coronavirus thing a little far, kanga! Haha, just kidding. Seriously...

What's a Cheroot?
@Insider , very curious as to your thoughts on this. Is this how NCS does it? (I understand if its "classified"). Any thoughts on the potential...
Ah, I understand now. I was having trouble following your first post. It might be really interesting to polish this research a bit, and write an...
Keep in mind that planchets are fed through an upsetting mill before coining. This pre-forms the rim. It appears that this coin went through that...
"Buffed" is not generally used by the TPGs, but you get the idea of what it could mean. Whizzing involves a rapidly rotating wire brush - buffing...
