tcore - you are correct to a degree, some types of toning will continue on the coin. But most types will not. The vast majority of the time, once...
Well find more reasons to be at West Point then - they've already stated they were removed from Fort Knox back in '01 :D
It sounds like the coin was struck with clashed dies - that's the reason for the partial Lincoln image on the reverse. As for the weak 46 - might...
I don't think it's hammered, the Brits gave up the practice many years before this medal was issued. It's struck in copper - one of the originals....
Works for me SD ;) My concern was that you got what you paid for - an authentic coin.
I don't think so. Since it appears on both sides of the mint mark I think it is due to die deterioration.
Well, this is the US Forum - but I don't collect US anymore. So a bit of darkside isn't gonna hurt anything :high5: Let's try one more - a...

Don't like French ? How about some British stuff ;) [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Boy Howdy !! Where should I start :kewl: Let's see - how about this one - [IMG] [IMG] Or this one - [IMG] [IMG]
Same place it always appears first - the high points. I doubled the size of the pics and brightened them a bit. I think the coin is an AU58.
I'm more concerned about the coin itself than I am about the error possibility. Is it an 1895-S ? Does it grade XF40 ? Is it slabbed or raw ?
You're right, it is. But the one thing about it that is different from other fads - that is that there has always been a sizable group of...
I do - accidents do happen ;)
Perhaps, but I doubt it. Especially when you consider that even MS64 examples slabbed by NGC or PCGS often sell for just over $1,000. But to me...
