Something to be said for this. When you pay a TPG you are paying for the information on that label.... The mislabeled three cent coin I have is a...
I agree. It appears to be something designed to look like an old gold coin. But it’s the wrong bust for 1842. The knobs top and bottom lead me to...
Now that’s inflation! LOL!!
Yes. Please leave them. They are yours of course to do with what you please. But a busted up mint set is asking for damage.
I mean... Photograph the piece beside a nickel or quarter or something similar. Something that will give a size perspective.
The bust isn’t right for an 1842 dated gold coin. They were using the Liberty Head by 1842...... Is there any way you could photograph the piece...
I appreciate your ethics. These days far too many wouldn’t think one second about advertising these as “unsearched” rolls. These days ethics are...
Oh yeah. I get it. It is a fine line to be certain. Last November my top saleslady’s husband was taken for $3000.00 because he fell for the IRS...
Ok... You asked for it. I am now wealthy beyond words... Three memorial cents and several crusty whatever’s... [ATTACH] Thirty minutes in and my...

Really though it all comes down to the free markets. Fortunately most of us here are savvy enough to know there are far better deals on Mezacks...
I left it. I think it is funny that the NGC authentication site shows it as a silver three cent and lists the value as such. I wouldn’t consider...
Nothing more satisfying than completing a set from your pocket change.
Well.... It was an antique sewer pipe!;)
Heck... Most everything we do is a gamble. Makes life interesting. Sad thing is that far too many of these EBay marketers know how to put lipstick...
It isn’t unheard of for NGC to mislabel a slab. I own a nickel three cent that they labeled as a silver three cent.
No sir. As @cpm9ball said. It is a method of manufacture. The mint determines a proof strike. Not a third party grader.
As a young man I tripped up and found a few cool things. Found a Spanish Cobb on the coast in the 1980’s..... I haven’t detected since my kids...
