Capped Bust halves are counterfeited far less frequently than many other types of coins. Therefore, authenticity is not a concern to the degree...
I'm not at all sure from what he said that he thinks it's a Proof. Either way, from the look of the weak stars, among other areas, the strike does...
Perhaps it's just the imaging and lighting, but the coin looks unnatural to me, as if it has been cleaned. If not, it looks AU58 at a minimum and...
No, I don't have any idea how long NCS might take to respond. That is why I was surprised that you posted as if you were certain you'd have an...

On this subject, here is a quote from the owner of a genuine PCGS coin in a genuine PCGS holder which was questioned by someone who had discovered...
Reading up on counterfeits is certainly a good idea. However, since MNcollector wasn't able to determine that the coin wasn't anywhere close to...
Or, as he later posted: Either way, I believe that misinformation was disseminated.
The coin is most clearly and certainly NOT in "mint condition" or even close to it. It displays obvious and considerable signs of wear and...
