Thanks for the prompt to think hard about the process. Thinking hard is one of my favorite things. :)
Go back with a magnet and scale, and disappoint him instead.
It can't be an original mint mistake. What would have to happen for this to come out of a press? You'd have to have a 1941 bronze cent fed into...
If you want a fake, sure. Or even if you want an actual error and won't be disappointed with a fake. I'd be disappointed with a fake, though,...
Error? Possibly. Cheap knockoff in a pawnshop? Probably. My local shop had a bunch of ASEs out on display. One was noticeably duller than the...
Or it curls away from the surface and falls off, right? Run a piece of sandpaper over a metal surface, then look at the sandpaper. There'll...
Yep, this is why everybody loves lawyers. :rolleyes: (Don't tell anyone, but programmers work the same way. Explains a lot about how computers...
Wow, you really are just that bad at math, aren't you? Or are you secretly a time traveler, posting from the 2030s? Can you tell us whether...
Yep, them's the ones.
I'm cheap, so I have a lot of round tubes -- but I bought a cardboard crate that's divided to hold rolls on end, so they stay put very nicely....
Good catch. I'm thinking I see it in the second image of the initial post, viewed full-size.
Why, given that you apparently never deliver things people like @Garlicus pay you for? Eager to steal that extra few hundred dollars?
I'm not seeing what's complicated here: Put circulated 1941 cent face-down on a hard surface. Put 1943 steel cent on top of it. Pound with...
Yeah, that's nicer than any war nickel I've ever found in the wild -- but I don't think it's any sort of error or variety.
I'm thinking they typically refuse to slab coins where they can't tell the date or mintmark. But they do encapsulate errors where the date is...
Because if he described the coins accurately and understandably, he wouldn't find suckers, erm, buyers at the prices he wants.
I'm leaning more strongly toward 9 at this point. As @White Ger. Shep. Lover said, they're very common. A couple of the photos really make it...
I'm inclined to disagree.
That seems to be the answer we've settled on in previous discussions here. It would explain why devices are enhanced on an etched nickel, and why...
Ugh. Open a case (Significantly Not As Described), and attach the auction photo and your photo. eBay should issue you a label to return the coin...
Separate names with a comma.
