Check its thickness, then. I've also received at least two counterfeits that weighed correctly, but were ~10% thicker than a normal coin.
Separately in plastic wrap? Grr. :mad: On the other hand, they're making it easier for all the folks who'll buy this just to flip the...
That's because it's a counterfeit. :( Blobby or "mushy" lettering like that is a classic tell for a counterfeit. Also, look at how the denticles...
So. Any idiot can see that they are different coins, and only one person in this thread can see that they're different? As riddles go, this one...
Ah, I misunderstood you. I do think that getting it in a slab will have a positive return, though. It's funky-looking enough that, without a...
Right place, right time! :)
You could check every day for MONTHS and never find anything -- and the one day that you skip would be the day the little old lady comes to cash...
LOL -- a cleaned AU Details one went for almost $1K last week on eBay. A 50 got $1380 back in November, and a couple of 55s went for almost $2K.
Plastic baby-wipe boxes. For many of us, there comes a time when suddenly there are LOTS AND LOTS of those accumulating...
A Genuine - Details 1923-S, even in a lower-tier slab, will still bring $200 or more on eBay. I'd "waste" $5 (melt plus a bottle of vinegar and a...
10 years ago was 2009. (Feel old yet?) Gold's spot price in the 1990s and early 2000s was mostly well under $400/oz. Even with the Mint's...
I'll say! Non-linearity isn't nearly so important when you're comparing items of similar weight, either -- so if you had one pile that weighed...
Yes, where he bought them does matter. If they're mostly from Home Shopping Network or the like, I'm afraid there may be bad news for his...
What a coincidence! I bought a bag of garbage that should've been melted decades ago. One of the coins was that holed, engraved proof Trade dollar...
If the jerk is getting sellers to cancel sales and then relist the coin so he can buy it, that's one thing. If he's setting up the deals outside...
Really going out on a limb there for a 1943 coin, aren't we? :rolleyes: Or maybe there was a top-secret Allied plan to re-introduce proof strikes...
But you can't quick-check rolls or tubes of dollars. Actually, I guess you can't do that with the 500g scale, either. Never mind. :) (...but...
Well, they screwed that up. I would've pounced on a 200x0.01 scale before I found out about the 500x0.01. :rolleyes:
If "shiny" meant "proof", I'd be at home with a rag and some polish "proofing up" all sorts of coins.
Nah. When selling heavily worn coins, insist on the going rate times face value. When buying them, insist on doing it by weight. For unworn...
