Nice pictures. I'm not a fan of the reed marks on the face and neck, but the reverse is nice. Why are you curious about the L?
Woof. Shysters will come with all sorts of clever names to dupe foolish people into buying an ugly coin. And that is an ugly coin.
Whenever you see a fake NGC or PCGS slab, report it directly to the company as well. NGC and PCGS both actively track, pursue, and combat...
While the coin is cool, the forum would get a lot more benefit if you described the error, what caused it, how to identify it, and told us about...
Its exactly what it sounds like. A coin is struck, and rather than being ejected from the coining chamber, it flips over and is struck a second...
I think the OP is using "recycled coin" to mean a coin that was struck over another coin. These are common in early US and colonial coinage. I'm...
In the past couple of years, my buying has slowed down considerably. I used to buy a few coins a month, for relatively small amounts. Now, I buy...
I would argue that the vast majority of coins sold are under a couple hundred bucks. There are some deep-pocketed collectors that buy more...
1.) Buy a book about errors. 2.) Read it. 3.) Read it again. 4.) Post when you are done.
I've seen plenty of reverse side forward slabbed coins. Usually, its because the reverse has really nice toning. Its collector preference, really,...
I see no reason why it wouldn't grade. I'd call it a borderline 64/65 (probably leaning more to the 65).
Hey, you found a good one! That is a nice, clear DDO. That is the CONECA DDO-001, Stage C. Take a look here, and compare yours:...
I'm going to say its real - there isn't anything on there that points to fake. Things I usually look at - 1. The dentilation - you can often...
I'd call it a 53, with a shot at 55 if the luster is strong in hand. And how in the hell does a quarter clash with a cent? That sounds like mint...
With how out of focus those pictures are, the grade could be anywhere from 62 to 66 and it wouldn't surprise me. I'm guessing its on the lower end...
Looks like a nice 64 to me. Not worth getting graded, but it is nice.
Well, I think Chief wins... beautiful coin. Question: what are the odd parallel lines in her hair/turban? Are those remnants of adjustment marks?
Haha, I took it from the other thread. It means "Rather absurdly high priced" but definitely has the implication of the other sound. Here's the...
Is it as green as your pictures indicate?
I agree, the reverse looks like a lamination.
