Isn't there a pretty big price difference between the original and the restrikes? If you didn't know what you were buying, why did you buy it?
These pictures are definitely good enough to let us see the condition of the coin. It appears to have been polished (especially the obverse), and...
The die clash probably doesn't add much value to it, if at all. Die clashes are common. Foreign collectors (usually) don't collect varieties, and...
Didn't realize you started 2 threads for the same coin. See my answer in your other thread.
It has been dipped, polished, and retoned. There appear to be numerous hairlines on the reverse. It is also AU. $25 is probably a good estimate of...
That thing is nowhere near EF. It is more like low VF details. Larry's guess of $40 is more accurate.
Are you sure that coin is authentic? Because, I'm not. The toning is also artificially enhanced. Either through heat, applied chemical, or some...
It appears to have some environmental effects, or some sort of film on it as well. I agree - this is a spender.
It does not look like anything I am familiar with. Can you try to get pictures more in focus? I can't read the lettering around the outside edge.
After careful consideration, I have decided to move away from collecting shillings. I enjoy these coins, but I am trying to work on too many...
1. NGC applies the PL designation to any coin which meets the standards: US, new, old, foreign, etc. 2. PCGS applies the PL designation to...
Did you also see the eloquent, well researched legal argument against him? In any case, to return to the OP - no, PCGS and NGC don't slab hobos....
Haha, whatever you say, Griff: [MEDIA]
It was Dcarr himself, in an extensive thread on another forum, who made the analogy between his counterfeits and legitimate hobo nickels. I am...
Creep is certainly analagous to the "flow" of glass. However, creep is defined as deformation under a low load for an extended period of time. A...
I've not seen any slabbed. That doesn't mean it doesn't happen, I've just not seen it. If Dcarr's counterfeits get slabbed, than legitimate hobo...
Taunting me won't work. You can see everything on the coin because you have it in hand, and know what you are looking at. But trust me, these...
I work with the Navy, and word gets out that I like coins. Every once in a while, one of the guys will give me a coin from their boat. I've gotten...
No more or less than a coin does. The process, as applied to coins, is known as "cold flow," and is quite different from liquid flow. No. This...
I've said it once, and I'll say it again HCMV: your pictures are not good enough to give reliable or accurate grades from. You could tell me that...
Separate names with a comma.
