A different Civil War era coin - contemporary counterfeit. Probably posted it on here 3 times now, but I get a kick out of it. Sat in my album for...
I have never owned a gold coin. If I won something else, I might pick the Mexico 2 reales, Barber half, or FE cent.
Hahaha, I know the feeling. My most expensive coin purchase (profile pic) is graded UNC Details - Cleaned. I just wanted to have one, so I got it...
Sorry, I thought you meant blunt 7, pointed 7, and ML. There's also the 1947 Dot, and various iterations of 2x 3x 4x HP as you say. I started...

I roll up my change at home and the bank doesn't bother checking the rolls since I'm a customer. That might work.
Distance of the 2 to the rim is also a giveaway in most cases. The small date is farther from the rim than the width of the bottom of the 2, and...
My grandfather passed out his coins to his 5 grandchildren in 1972. They were literally a pile of raw coins that he kept in a box. He put the pile...
I'm curious what makes you say that. A clearly counterfeit coin in a counterfeit slab doesn't seem likely to really be gold.
Just arrived, AU-58. The end of phase one of my oddball type set collection of Barber dime design varieties. I've picked up the first and last...
