Given his other listings, I wouldn't touch that double eagle with someone else's money. He might have come across a legitimate valuable coin, but...
I'm also factoring in the risk of a charley horse, a more serious self-injury, and getting hit by a vehicle in the parking lot. ;) Honestly,...
So the stars are incuse -- were they struck into the hub for the last die, or into each individual coin?
Looks like the Smithsonian Polishing Brigade got to it... :(
The same alloy is used for the outer clad layers of dimes, quarters, halves, and Ike/SBA dollars, which is part of the reason you rarely see clad...
In my (limited personal and somewhat-less-limited secondhand) experience, banks care a whole lot about fake US paper money. Less about change, as...
And the nickel's composition has been stable (save WWII) for over 150 years, so there's been no temptation for people to take the older ones out...
I see that he also has Pamp 1 kilogram gold bars for $1000 BIN. Oh, sorry, "1kilo Fine handmade prop replica". Edit: and the AGEs are described...
Weird. Is it thicker or thinner than a real cent? I'm guessing it's aluminum. (Hey, at least it's not lead!) I thought it looked bent.
I was going to make a snarky comment about it being 3/5 of a $10 1/4-ounce AGE, but it's actually 2/5. And then there's the 1/2-ounce First...
Look again, though -- the 1993 "coin" is the diameter of a nickel. Put a cent on top of it, and you can still see the whole rim, and then some.
That will get him precisely nowhere with eBay. The title says "1794 Flowing Hair Half Dollar", and eBay's terms of service explicitly prohibit...
Grey, and the size of a nickel, but with the full design appearing? That sounds like a fake, although I don't know its purpose...
Oh, derp, I thought we were just talking about a standard AGE proof. I'm guessing any weight info on an AGE capsule wouldn't be useful, then, and...
3.393g for the coin itself. It contains 1/10 troy oz of gold, but it's only 22k. I'll see if I still have a capsule for one upstairs, but I doubt...
Now, see, I thought you were going for a strict value comparison. ;)
And the longer the story of how he came to have the coin, and the more times he says "I can't claim it's legitimate", the more likely it is to be...
Ah, so they'll be just like the other TPGs, but with stricter grading? Hmm. Wonder if this will be "we will always grade coins 2/3 of a point...
It got nickel-stomped.
Find me another woman from the same era who looks better today.
