A strong cartwheel effect is a pretty clear sign that it's not a proof. The photos show the same texture across devices and fields. What are you...
How much would a complete set go for? At least seven cents. Probably not a lot more, at least for coins like those pictured. Are you really...
Acid can take a coin's weight down to zero (dissolving it away completely). 4.9g made me wonder about a coin struck on a nickel (5 cent)...
Of, of course. Thank you for your respect for our feelings, which are so fragile and would certainly be shattered by a photo of the newly-slabbed...
Well-said. Whether or not it had value before, it certainly does now for you and your family!
If it's in Littleton plastic, what does the label say? I didn't think they were in the business of selling problem coins...
Yup, I'm afraid it's just a fake. :( The real coin doesn't have a reeded edge like that, and as @YoloBagels said, the strike is all wrong.
It may take a while for knowledgeable people to hit the thread. It will help to provide photos of both sides of the coin, and of the edge if you...
What? I don't see any breaks in the band separation... :rolleyes:
Sure looks like one. Don't know if it could be a plating defect instead -- is this a post-1982 coin?
Makes sense. Not foolproof, but errors would be rare. When I took a course on computer security (decades ago), one of the topics was using...
I'm curious -- how does anyone go about tracking a particular buyer on eBay, now that buyer IDs are anonymized? Sellers see de-anonymized...
Wow, whoever punched the D into that 1975 die must have started happy hour really early that day. Don't know what's happening on the 1984, but I...
Sorry, I was confusing "coins" and "money" again. :rolleyes:
...or that NGC is market-grading a coin with clear wear, as others have suggested. I'm not ready to dismiss that possibility, either. (Not to take...
Um, isn't that kind of the premise of this entire site? :angelic:
I agree that this is an issue with the sellers. Whether it's one guy stalking you, or a different person each time, the sellers are backing out of...
I typed up a reply and erased it at least twice, but you've captured the main point. Speaking strictly hypothetically, what are collectors...
People won't have had 50 years to forget what they looked like when they were first released?
I wonder if I should start selling "New Coin Variety Production Kits" on eBay -- a couple of dental probes, a small hammer, and a half-round file....
