There's a clue about that in the listing for his 1842-O 25c Small Date AU58: "Although we cannot say for sure, it is almost certain that John...
It's just stolen images of a real coin in a real slab, probably taken from an auction site. If you look up the cert, there's a TrueView image that...
Sorry! I need an intervention. I have 4 of these lower grade 1903-S 10c now - 3 thick and one thin. The thick ribbon (it's actually Reverse 3 now)...
Did anyone else pick up something from the John McCloskey collection, last Sunday or the previous January FUN auction? I've never bought anything...
