Now I understand what you mean. Yes, I would agree the coin was plated based on the new pics.
I'd say VF30 and about $10.
Not at all, the coin I posted is completely genuine. I was making a point on the value of the coins. The coin in the link posted by zapdbf was a...
As I said in another thread - right now nobody knows because final mintage figures have not been released by the mint.
That's what I wanted to know :thumb: I agree with you about the dealers, all too many of them will sell a coin like this in order to recover...
I did, it looks completely normal to me - other than the tape you found on it - it's the tape that makes the color look weird.
I'm confused , what plating is it that you are talking about ? There is no plating on cents dated before 1982.
Yes, it easily could depending on a couple of things. For instance, PVC contamination is often a slimy like substance that will transfer to...
Weren't what released for circulation - the 2006 halves ? If that's what you are asking, no they weren't. The Kennedy half has not been released...
What I said stands - acetone can make copper coins turn all sorts of weird colors. So if you are willing to take a chance on that - have at it.

Understand your point, but I gotta tell ya that I think it is better to have them included and let the world know where they rank than it would be...
Looks like glue - acetone will probably take it off but then the coin turn weird colors. If it were me I'd spend it and look for another.
A word of advice, until and unless you become very familiar with values and authenticity, in particular values, don't even bother to look at...
Well, I agree this coin is a fake. However, the 5 used is the correct 5 for this date and mint. That's one of the things you have to learn or at...
The weight of counterfeits can vary greatly, it can also be exactly correct. But when it is correct, usually the size in diameter or thickness...
I understand exactly what you mean by that. And you are correct, you're just not thinking it all the way through. You see, the two edge dies are...
Sorry Mik, but you already have :mad:
Yes that is what people say, personally I don't believe it. Be that as it may, your odds of having the coins cross are very slim, almost 0. PCGS...
Sure you can - I'd like to see the link myself ;)
