Thanks for the tips, everyone. @Paddy54, that second half you posted is the "small-9" variety of the overdate, right? Mine appears to be the...
...and then listed it on eBay. :rolleyes: It does make me happy to see that NGC will actually put "DAMAGED TO RESEMBLE ERROR" on a body tag....
After watching the video, I see why you're saying AU. I especially noticed the difference in reflectivity on the eagle's leg. I still don't know...
Thanks, Paddy! Even though these are both problem coins, I'm going to study their detail levels a bit more and try to figure out "what they would...
1832: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] This one still has quite a bit of luster around the peripheral devices, but it's definitely been cleaned; those...
1819/18(?): [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Yes, that's a deep gouge on the obverse, and yes, it's got an old cleaning, but not a terrible...

I'm afraid you should have been doing that all along. :(
I think I didn't make myself clear enough. In this case, the seller scammed me (the buyer), sending me an empty package. eBay had better have...
For what it's worth, someone tried to run an empty-package scam on me for a couple of Indian Eagles a year or so ago. eBay required me to file a...
I think we've discussed this at some length in other threads, and concluded that the SS isn't interested in pursuing numismatic counterfeits.
Time for a little "reading for comprehension", I think: In other words, someone knowingly bought it as fake at a fake's price, then tried to...
So what about requiring communication before allowing negative feedback? If you're unhappy, message the seller. If you haven't messaged the...
"Free of consequences" is stretching things. Buyers who don't pay will eventually get dumped. It's just not as transparent as the process for...
Well, at least that's settled.
Wow. I wish my local pawnshops would sell for under melt (at least on purpose). The one shop never seems to keep stuff long, so I guess they're...
