I wonder if there's another one out there with an overstrike. Have you seen other 1796 S-85 struck fakes? I dug this up from a 1913 Numismatist...
Any new theories? The corrosion up against the letters on both sides and the bottom edge of the bust looks authentic to me, which if so indicates...
I probably shouldn't bother but can someone explain what the heck this is all about? You found one of your missing coins in an auction that hasn't...
What an odd coin. Can't contribute much but I note that the right branch of Y on the 1852 points just below the star, and on the 1796...
My impression is that one of them puts more effort into covering it up.
Here's my 47ML. I was very fortunate to get several raw from grandpa 50 years ago, which led to a lifetime of collecting interest. This one...
We're on a first name basis and I know it's a hassle so I let it go.
Updating your own thread from 10+ years ago is awesome. Two grades and from RB to RD is crazy. Here's the Stacks auction, clearly the same coin....
I'm on the lookout as well. I hate it when my beer store purchase ends in $.02 and the clerk grabs two cents from the "take a penny" tray. I can't...
I do suspect even their images were taken from somewhere else, but if they're playing that game, why not just use images of a real coin in a real...
I'm not an authority and I'm not sure how to make my post clearer. The subject coin was never in an NGC slab so there's nothing to report. The...
By the way here's a real one vs the subject coin. The date is a joke. [ATTACH]
A cert # was put in the item description. There was no image of the coin in a slab. So the seller probably just found one from a previous sale and...
I saw it, looked for it on that Chinese site to see if the pictures were taken from there, logged in to report it, and in that two minutes it was...
I see a bunch of NNC slabs in that auction too. They're below the basement.
I'm 60 miles north of the D mint and it seems like it's always April or May before I see current year coins in circulation. I've been using a lot...
What do you think the "surface residue" was? Lacquer?
Who took the first picture and is that how it really looked? I ask because it looks like the lighting of some True View etc that try to bring out...

I only have this contemporary counterfeit (which I've posted more than once already but why not again). [ATTACH]
