Unfortunately, if it is magnetic then it is definitely a fake. A genuine coin would be made of .890 silver and non magnetic.
I've always been fond of the Rosa Americanas. A twopence with nice bath metal color and smooth surfaces is a joy to behold.
Pictures aren't the best to determine grade. It might make VG, if so, retail value would be about 4.50. That might be a bit optimistic in the...
The Whitman Encyclopedia of Colonial and Early American Coins by Q. David Bowers is probably one of the easier to use and obtain books.
I only had a chance to glance at it, but I am about certain it is a 1787. There are a ton of 1787 varieties, I'll try to give it a shot when I...
What makes you think Philadelphia didn't mint nickels in 1971? They minted over 106,000,000 in 1971.
The ebay link is to an 1865 s, the poster said his is an 1865. HUGE difference in price between a Philadelphia mint coin and a San Francisco mint...
It may be a bubble in the plating? Don't really know but that would be my best guess.

Yup, gotta see it. If I had to guess without seeing it, it probably had a cent pressed into it or into a foreign substance on the coin like...
I just have to go with 1793, Chain cent, Wreath Cent, Strawberry leaf, first Liberty cap and the first half cent. I can't afford them all, but I...
Uncirculated would have some value, but if it is circulated, it is worth twenty five cents.
A nice honest circulated piece, better than one of the shiny reprocessed ones!
Actually the Connecticut coppers did not really depict George III, a design mimicking the British halfpence was used because it was the most...
95 for sure.
Thanks for the intelligent reply! A post strike splitting is what I was considering, agreed there is usually a ghost image, but with the quality...
While errors are not my thing, is it possible that it is a split planchet error?
Separate names with a comma.
