Off the top of my head I would have to say it is fake. The S mm should be on the top not the bottom and the coin should be dated which it is not....
Toothbrush is a very bad idea. Brushing, rubbing, swabbing, wiping - whatever word you wish to use, touching the surface of a coin with ANYTHING...
Not true at all, I for one am definitely not anti-cleaning. What I am is against people who don't know what they are doing cleaning coins. This is...
Howdy Chuck - sure a reverse Proof could be done. It just requires preparing the dies correctly. Rather doubt they (the mint) will do it though....
BIN = Buy It Now How sure are you that your coins would actually grade MS67 ? That is a very tough grade to get for a business strike coin.
Didn't think you were attacking my post at all, rather that you were asking questions.
Very easy, and good reasons for it. The soft flips are cheaper, so that is what the dealers will buy. The soft flips are far less likely to...
Problem is, collectors are always the last to know that the wave is about to crash on the rocky shoreline. They seldom even realize it until they...

Hmmmm - you must be forgetting that until just a few years ago, less than 10, that's exactly how most people bought ALL their sight unseen coins....
It is because they have an insert in them that prevents coins from toning.
Yes, the TPG's are more lenient it seems with the CC coins. But that is partialy why I mentioned the other coin, so that folks could compare the...
Really hard to say based on those pics but it does appear to have been polished.
Not really, they are fairly common.
Now compare that coin, to the coin Jim posted about in this thread - Click Here
You need to realize stella, that for every member of Coin Talk who views these threads there are 3 or 4 more who are not members - and who cannot...
I see nothing that even remotely looks like verdigris on the coin. As for the grade, the slide marks on the face should limit it to 63.
That coin, and the pics of it, are a perfect example of something I have explained several times. What is showing up in the pics as black marks on...
Separate names with a comma.
