And one in Good-4 is on the Grey Sheet for $2,500. This thing will not sell as a VF to anyone who knows what they are doing. An expert would stay...
Yes, "tooling" is often the term used for coins that have been messed with in this way. It was often done to large cents in the 19th century. Back...
As "The Red Book" has stated for years, "All half cents are scarce."
Some one just bid $4,850 for this coin on eBay. It attracted 45 bids. This coin has been extensively re-engraved. The detail on Ms. Liberty's eye...
It does not have "COPY" or "REPRODUCTION" on it so it is still illegal. Here is a genuine piece. [ATTACH] Here is the fake in the OP post....
Could it be that the hub (the master image from which all of the working dies are are made) is wearing out again? That happened between 1909 and...
I have been collector for over 60 years, but I have only been collecting ancient Roman Imperial coins for about three. Before that, I collected...
No, those two pieces don't look "scary good" to experienced collectors and dealers. I said "counterfeit" as soon as I saw them. The dates were...

Thank you for clearing up that issue. I have learned something. Of course, the next question is, why bother on a base metal coin?
I think it will get an MS-62, and in that grade it’s worth the grading fee.
When people take the time to comment on your questions, comments like that are totally out of line. You can disagree, but attacking those who are...
I would be interested to know how this could happen in the mint. I thought that the edge lettering was imparted on these coins at the same time...
What you have is a copy of a copy. In the mid 19th cenury, I believe it was Willis Betts, made a set of dies to reproduced the Fugio Cents. The...
Here are a couple of genuine Fugio Cents. This coin was part of large hoard of Mint State pieces that held by The Bank of New York. The bank had...
Sorry, but it’s a copy and has no collector value. Many of these copies have been made over the years.
Here's my set. Everything is silver except Caligula. [ATTACH]
Maybe this one ... [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Or this one ... There are some others. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
