Well, its a crying shame that he ruined two perfectly good coins to make those counterfeits. At least we know what coins he destroyed, so we can...
For the uninitiated: what is interesting/special about these? That is, why did you want one so badly to purchase a porous/holed somewhat-low-grade...
I agree with your assessment. I'd put it at a low VF, and its too bad about the gouge in the field in front of her face. The rest of the coin...
45 might be a little high, but I am comfortable with this coin at 40. Look at the amount of luster left - I would expect to see that on an EF...
Very nice color on that piece, Brandon.
Let's just say I trust Heritage to do what they said, far more than I trust CAC to be consistent. If you are implying Heritage lied, then you...
Really? Well, I'll eat my hat now. Your pics really fooled me.
Cool, thanks. My problem is, I don't know *anything* about ancient coins. That's why I want something even more general than that - something...
That looks like a perfectly attractive EF-AU $5 Lib. If you want the coin, I see no reason why you shouldn't buy it. Completed sales on Ebay have...
What are you seeing that makes you think its cleaned? Light cleaning that has retoned will receive a straight grade, as long as it is market...
This isn't really "toning." It is the coin changing color, but not because of thin film interference. The red band you see is the copper's...
There is no way to know for sure, and those pictures aren't really the best for judging the surfaces, but I'm not seeing anything that jumps out...
I'd call it VF-30. It looks like an attractive coin. The tiny scratch on the face is well within the normal marks allowed for a circulated VF...
Thanks for everyone's help and advice. I decided to go with Sayles Volume I (and, if I like it, will pick up the rest), and Whitmans Handbook of...
I don't see anything immediately wrong with this coin, but given the fact that all of the coins you have posted today have been counterfeits, I am...
I am not convinced of the authenticity of this coin.
I have to agree with the others - this looks like a poor quality cast counterfeit.
Looks like a poor quality cast fake of a Netherlands coin.
The coin shown exhibits a very minor die chip. If you can come up with a fancy name and market it you could probably sell it for about a billion...
Before I made my post, I compared your coin to all of the examples in the Heritage archives (about 12 coins). These range in grade all the way...
