Don't hate the player, hate the Mint. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] OURS. ARE. CALLED. PENNIES. By the organization that produces them, no less. I wish we...
No worries, your main point was spot on.
Seconded. Also, don't forget to use a covered container, as acetone evaporates very quickly. If you need to use something with a plastic lid,...
Not all. The shop I used to frequent basically only looked for CC mint marks. I picked up a worn but problem-free 1895-O there for the same price...
I'm with you. Face value alone is an awful lot to tie up in an item like this. I'd love to have a $500 or $1000 note, but not enough to tie up...
Look at the 9. Yours bears no resemblance to a real coin. Mmm.
I'm not sure that would be cost-effective. An acetone soak really isn't difficult or dangerous at all (as long as you keep fire away), and a quart...
I would've been all over those, too! Outstanding score!
The only reverse photo I see has so much glare in that region that I wouldn't expect to see it. Am I missing a second photo?

Yep. I remember looking into these a few years ago. I think something like a third of all 1909-S halves have the inverted S.
That's all true, but this piece looks like a cartoon caricature of an SLQ. If I'm looking for a lost cat, and somebody shows me a stuffed...
Only organic, free-range coins for you, then? ;)
To make myself perfectly clear (I hope), I don't think anyone currently in possession of these coins has done anything legally or ethically...
Ssshhhh!
You and your "friend" need to stop digging in places where people keep burying modern counterfeits.
Lots of attention to how rare and $$$valuable$$$ this "error" is, one section about the Mint procedures that guarantee this couldn't have happened...
Ladies and gentlemen, The Problem.
Yeah, one of the things I would always do is look at the seller's history of accepted offers and see how low they were willing to go. Problem is,...
That seems high for a damaged coin, even with silver's recent run-up. If I were selling this to my guy at the local show, he'd put it in with the...
