Very nice, Eduard! I was thrilled to find one in AU58. The eagle design is one of my favorites and the cent will have to satisfy me until I find a...
I paid about $120 for mine, it reeked of tobacco smoke when it arrived but that has mostly dissipated. Then I discovered there was a copy at the...
Very interesting thread, thank you, Budgood!
That looks like a nice, original coin. Congrats! Perhaps someone can clarify what I am seeing on Liberty's neck: there looks to be a pointed...
It was a dark and stormy night.
It looks to me like die polish, using the same reasoning as the o.p. What's the round dot in the right obv field, above the hair ribbon?
Nice! the first coin I ever bought is an 1835 half dime in fine at a coin show I attended with my dad in the 1960's. Still in its 2x2, paid 7.00

Most of these replica sellers have an email address in their listings, and if contacted would be happy to supply fakes w/o the 'replica' stamp;...
I agree that they look like fakes, possibly a ferrous alloy with a silver wash or plating that is coming off. I'm pretty sure the weight will be...
I think it would go AU, but the mark on Liberty's cheek might be considered a scratch, and there is some disturbance (?damage) in the field in...
It's easy to see how someone could be fooled by one of these, if the photos are the typical small ones used in eBay auctions. They don't stand up...
A fun read, and looks like a great token.. congrats!
