Well I give up. I'm sending in several 1899 O die cracks on the reverse to ANACS. They can sort it out. I'm willing to pay for a correct analysis....
Is that Harry Carey in your avatar? Like!
We are with you man. This Christmas is the first I've spent without one of my parents still alive. I'm with my wife and her kin, instead of my own...
I looked at the VAM site. There is another year from NO with the same die crack as well. I haven't looked into that year's documentation yet. But...
I'm relatively new here but wanted to say seasons greetings to everyone. I've been somewhat interested in coin collecting since I was a kid, but...
I may join that club myself, but it won't be for pennies. :p (and neither will be the fees) :(
Meh. The obverse is pretty standard fare and actually kind of boring. No double ear from what I can see. But here's the thing........I've picked...

I'm very sorry about the original poster's plight. I'm afraid fakes are just going to get worse especially since China is involved. Look at this...

So far, everything I've posted and asked if it were an error, strike through error, die crack, etc has been post mint damage. Finally I find...
How much value does that add? It was an obvious defect. So obvious, that even I noticed it immediately. Seemed too good to be true, so I ran away,...
Thanks for that info. I knew dealers charge a premium but when it comes to liquidating I suspected they bend sellers over. Good information if I...
Me too. That definitely means it's a scratch!! Tapping foot, looking at clock. ;) Wow, the amount of cleaned raw coins up for auction tonight gave...
That's a beauty. i don't know if it's just the lighting, but it seems to have a slight golden toning throughout both sides. Just curious, when you...
Was just cruising the auction section, not seeing anything interesting tonight but this baffled me. 1899 O. What is the crack looking thing going...
Agreed, but it's China so................
I did notice that the 9 in the date looks weird. What bothers me is that the serial number checks out. I have experienced overseas junk fraud on...
