@Brian Calvert The only kid that ever smacked me around was the 6'5" 220lb center on a rival HS Basketball Team that got a Division 2 football...
Definitely a keeper for me. I don't think it has much added value because it's not a major shift and the condition is so-so, but it's a cool...
Time for a quick analogy. Your claim is equivalent to going to a car show with a Corvette engine in your Mustang and telling the judges that it's...
Cool find. Even though it may not have much added value, but I would keep it if I found it. Stuff like this isn't going to make you rich, but it...
Jerry, The coin is real and it was certified by a TPG (there is only 1). If I remember correctly, this and a number other of "spectacular errors...
It couldn't have left the mint, because it couldn't be made by the mint. A die wouldn't be able to produce the area of raised metal without...

A simple visual check can flush out a lot of fake Morgans. Look at the stars and denticles. They shouldn't be mushy, misformed or inconsistent...

Search "Texas Cent" in the coin talk archives. Here are some recent ones to get you started, but there are a lot of them...
@Bing I think you got the rare Flying Monkey Commemorative from Oz [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Yes, acid dipped (probably a mild acid for an extended period). The devices and lettering are mushy and washed out. Characteristics of acidic...
I'm leaning towards a novelty cent, but repeatedly hitting a coin between pieces of leather can do some interesting things (called a Texas Cent,...

Oldhoopster thinks all coins should have basketball players on them. That would make Oldhoopster very happy and maybe convince Oldhoopster's son...
There’s a lot of documentation on record regarding the Henning Nickels including FBI testimony. Trying to prove other dates/dies exist is going to...
Sorry, but it is just damage. Along with the damage, the coin has a lot of wear and tear, so the numismatic value is minimal (5-10 cents as an...
