PCGS & NGC publish population reports. I think both charge for the pop reports.
Sorry, but no, it does not look genuine to me. Like 900fine said, there are many indicators that this coin is not genuine.
I visit the ANA Library often as I live only minutes away. You can walk through the entire museum in a few minutes but if you take your time it...

No good deed goes unpunished.
The buyer most certainly has a choice. He can buy a raw example of the coin that he personally grades at MS-70 and pay less. Or he can buy a...

That's heresy!! :goofer: I like Shield Nickels. I LOVE the numeral '5' on the reverse and I like the details in the lines on the shield of a...
It looks like the "reeding" is at an angle, i.e., not straight across the edge of the coin. If the "reeding" is angled it could not be ejected...
Do a search of CT for "Longacre doubling" and you will find my post. I'm sure there are other posts and threads that describe Longacre doubling as...
