Spooning a dime seems masochistic. Imagine how many times you'd whack your thumb or finger instead of the coin.
Clearly a fake to me. Lots of things wrong with it if you compare with at a real one. Craigslist is even more risky than ebay.
Who could have guessed that this would not be thought out before doing it.
Like maybe in another 50 years? I still get them in change.
Wow, someone really took a knife to that coin!
More advice - once you've noted the typical counterfeit "look", examine the date. The dates on these confirm they're fake. Counterfeiters...
You're going to have to explain how the exact same "die deterioration" occurred at three different mints. I don't think you've carefully examined...
Good thoughts. Or not to improve metal flow, but to alleviate cracking of the dies at the sharp edge of the design. I also considered that it...
This would make an interesting research project and article for someone. Jumping through the PCGS gallery it appears that "something" started...
Fresh off the auction block for $11.11 with $5 buyer's fee. So a bit over price guide ($8.40 according to coinsandcanada) but I immediately...
As an "investment" of discretionary spending, I can't think of a better ROI than coins (if that's something you enjoy). As long as people are...
I've seen this on other cents of this era, specifically 1942 when I was researching a PCGS "high relief" claim. If you zoom in really close on...
5) Hijacked account? Or stolen images? Barcode scans OK but the QR code says "bad url" for me. Don't have PCGS app though. Yeah, I don't...
To me the dictionary definition of "gaudy."...
Or a real-life example with embellishments. Great-grandpa Joe has a pocket watch and fob made from an 1876 half dollar. 1876 is a special year of...
I don't understand the logic behind no photos. If a criminal is going to target a specific dealer or coin, how would photos help?
I've noticed the same at my local show. Variety is the spice of life! But I can say the same for Barber coinage. Thanks for the report.
Garage sale doesn't instill confidence for me.
The pointed 7 variety carries a bit more premium than the blunt 7 for the 1947 $1, but in that rough condition with the hole it probably doesn't...
I may have purchased one a long time ago, not sure. I've never really been interested in the Canadian cents, just the nickels and silver. All...
