Looks like damage to me, it just happened inside the mint. I can't think of anything that would cause it that would be considered an "error."
Nice set, and I learned something new. I was vaguely aware of these but had no idea that they were minted for 6 years.
The bison seems like an odd choice.
I imagine there are more of these "hoards" sitting in European banks somewhere. Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't the double eagles at least...
Much of the info here https://www.pcgs.com/news/pcgs-announces-contemporary-counterfeit-status-of-1896-o-1900-o. Many more identified since then,...
Definitely odd. I can see a bank giving them away as a promotion to open an account or something, but selling them?
It is an interesting story. They actually had higher silver content than real ones, because silver was less than 50 cents an ounce and you'd...
Supposedly 3 graders at PCGS looked at it, and then CAC looked at it... what a racket.
What year is that Charlton? Have one from the 60s laying around somewhere.

This one popped into my head. It reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where his girlfriend is gorgeous in certain lighting and elsewhere he goes...

I take it you had/have this one in hand? Gosh that fake is awful. I guess the new mantra is buy the coin, not the fake slab. Have we seen a faked...
It's funny (morbidly) that despite the enormous amount I pay in taxes, anything that I actually need from the federal, state, county, or city...
This. What's next? Auctioning a faster passport renewal to the highest bidder? But we've been going down this road for a very long time with...
Nice coins and appreciate you taking the time to do the video. As said above though, I believe San Francisco stopped making circulation cents in...
From what I see on Numista "2nd map" for some countries started in 2007 and other countries in 2008. A bunch of countries joined in 2004 and...
I have been thinking that if I don't post or "like" something in a thread for a while, I stop getting notified by email. But that's just me trying...
Numista has 1st map and 2nd map. Maybe that's it? 1st map: [ATTACH] 2nd map: [ATTACH]
