Very poorly made fake, there are a lot of these out there.
Ah, gotcha. The D is for Denver where the coin was minted. The initials on the obverse are for the designer of the coin, John R. Sinnock. Still...
I don't see anything that looks like a doubled die,where do you see the doubling? Nice finding a silver dime in circulation though!
Unfortunately your note is a replica. The serial number is the giveaway. Confederate notes have been copied from the time of the Civil War to...
I am afraid if you paid close to half of AU50 value you paid way too much, and the cost of slabbing would put you farther in the hole. This coin...
Yeah, the copper color, this one is kind of neat, not the usual gray bubbly pot metal look of the usual souvenir copies. Would be interesting to...
Lower grade Connecticuts, Hibernias and others can often be picked up for less than $50. Keep watch on ebay and dealer listings, even smaller...

This is not quite correct, there are different varieties of farthings, some of which have the same legends as the halfpenny. This does appear to...
There is also a Hibernia farthing. You can measure and or weigh it to be sure which it is.
Since my last post I have also found an Abraham Lincoln!
It is positively, definitely a button, I find them all the time metal detecting.
It is a Newman 18-H, I think it is currently listed as a Rarity 5 [ 31 to 75 known]. Nice Fugio!
No, definitely not. The proof is impaired and the walking liberty half, while a nice coin, is a lower grade common date.
Another dent on the obverse at U of united? Definitely environmental damage as well as the dents.
It is definitely cast, you can see the seam on the edge.
Separate names with a comma.
