Welcome to the forums! Imma go with "fake". Very, definitely, obviously fake. Sorry.
Well, the coin is a lot easier to carry around in your pocket ;) I know that a few people on these boards collect cars as well as coins. I don't...
Leave whom alone? The OP? I'm commending him for recognizing and outing a fake. I will not and cannot leave the seller and fabricator of this...
Eh, I've experienced the full gamut: paint stick, belt, switch, wooden spoon. I've also had a wide range of soaps: dawn, ivory, lever, etc. I...
I don't have kids. But if I did, there'd be a leather belt for any kid that stole my coins. And a shotgun for anyone that wasn't my kid.

Looks like a bit of gunk stuck on. Very *very* carefully, use a wooden toothpick and try to loosen it. If that doesn't work, use an acetone bath.
I think I like the first one better, but the stories are cool for both. What does "SMNB" mean?
Huh, that is a lot more specific than I was expecting. And I'm surprised you found something modern and foreign there. But I guess NYC gets quite...
I don't own one of these, but I keep hoping one will show up that meets my criteria. Yours is quite nice, congrats.
I'm hoping that someone with contacts at PCGS has reported this. PCGS takes cases of counterfeited slabs quite seriously, and pursues them. The...
Where is your "local park" (country is close enough, for privacy reasons)? That's not the sort of thing I'd expect to find in the US, normally.
Well, that's quite a journey! Glad you were finally successful!
