Because Snow wrote the book on flying eagles and indian head cents. Brunk wrote the book on counterstamps. Two totally different fields.
No offense but I think GD is seeing things. :)
When I saw the title I wondered what in the heck he had. A 1977-S 40% silver Ike? That would have been a REAL treasure, who cares what it graded.
Small premium? Have you looked at the premiums they have been asking lately for proof collector gold? Expect a 40 to 50% premium over bullion.
I think they are goldsmiths halmark stamps for 18Kt gold. Probably a goldsmith testing his new hallmark punch.
Not for circulation. The law that provided for the four commemorative cents next year allows, but does not mandate, the use of the 95% copper 5%...
I have seen EVERY draped bust dollar date with these same diagnostics. Different dies quite possibly, but the dies came from the same undated...

It is doubled but it is harder to see. Notice though how the ball is not symetrical but instead is smeared out to the left toward 7:00 the same...
Not really, most real Fugios are also problem coins that the top TPG's other than ANACS would body bag. Also most real Fugios are probably held...
Not if he is counterfeiting something like this. You fake one piece it is extremely difficult to prove it to be a fake because there is nothing...
Hard to say, this coin was a struck through grease error. Difficult to tell how much of the detail was on the coin originally, but from what I...
Because "their way" is the slower, less effective method. Their way dumps your report in with all the other reports of counterfeits from all over...
It's supposed to but I would rather see the end of the cent instead. If the cent does continue in 2010 the reverse design is supposed to...
