I collected stamps briefly as a kid. Got some mint state from gramps, to me they were really old (early 1900s). Got the grab bag things from mail...

Is that unusual for your region? The last coin show I attended there were tons of "non-white" people there browsing and a few with tables. Women...
Yeah I think kids at Halloween see coins as something they could get candy for. Skip the middleman, give me some candy.
I don't know if CT allows a direct link to the other discussion. If you go to the Canadian grading forum on CCF and search for "1891" it will pop...
I misspoke above. The coin is an 1891 LL SD Obverse 2 large cent, originally graded MS-64 by a Canadian TPG. Here is an image of what the presumed...
However, with the effort involved, it seems likely they would use the same reverse die for multiple dates, and thus end up with die combinations...
Or they could have cashed it last night and gotten the full $1,649,050.00 less the transaction fees. The buyer however, currently has...
I've edited images of coins with ticks at every 10 to count denticles. Seems like for reed counts you'd want to use the flashlight reflector...

Sold. 118 bids, 22 bidders. $1,510,000 ($1,698,750 with Buyer's Fee). Current BTC Value of Coin: $1,649,050.00
I also think not genuine. I'm no expert but I've never seen a chopmark with such a distinct square border. All I recall seeing are just a Chinese...
Seller is currently losing almost $300k versus just cashing them in, minus the transaction fees. I don't get it.
So are these both essentially dateless coins, or did the grader think they saw enough of a date to call it 1796? If they are dateless, it's hard...
I wonder what the PCGS guarantee covers... How does anybody know that the keys or codes or whatever are real? Why would somebody auction it off...
The MS61 grade kind of cracks me up a little. How do they know it's Type II?
I couldn't find a clip of the original show but I did find this trailer. :20 shows the coin briefly. [MEDIA] Best TV theme song.
