Since this thread has taken a photographic turn... I'm wondering if there's a good way to take pictures of small coins with an iPhone. I can't...
You are correct. I probably should have spotted this one based on the CC alone. I think it would be great if someone annotated my friend's pics...
I pretty much agree with @krispy: it would depend on how I came to own the coin. Depending how convinced I was it fake, if I bought it from a...
Nope. I don't see a nick in that spot on the known Chinese fake. :( I do see kind of a bleb on the Chinese dollar that matches up with a flat...
Ok, I see a ding a little to the right and near the top of the shield that seems to match up on both.
Is it where the pole meets the arm?
Nope, I'm not considering buying it. It belongs to a friend of mine and he wants to know if it's real or not. Which marker are you seeing?
What's wrong with it?
I forgot to add, if you voted fake, please also post a reply explaining. :-) If you voted bacon, well... BACON. :P
A non-collector friend of mine kind of lucked into this coin, and I was wondering what the experts of CoinTalk thought of it. I haven't seen the...
Speaking of errors on slabs, I've seen a "full circle" of cent mislabelled as nickel; nickel as dime; dime as quarter; and quarter as cent, all in...
Off as in fake? Or something else? The details all look right (besides, who would fake a '22 Peace?). I just thought the pic was a little off....
Yeah, I agree. Possible 1908/8, but not a doubled die. You would see doubling on all the digits to the same extent as on the 8 if it were a...
Technically speaking, strike is an element of the grade, but, in practice, unless you have a very weak strike, it won't hurt the grade until...
Already too rich for my blood. I will, however, say that I have paid 5x "book" value for a coin with exceptional toning and eye appeal before,...
Hard to tell. It looks very lightly circulated to me, but the surfaces do look lifeless relative to the amount of detail left. It could just be...
The only thing I think about is how many coins are going to have to come out of my bank account purchasing that SD card or for that night out. I...
I generally prefer to keep coins I buy certified in their holders, unless they're crossing to a different service or something. Especially with a...
That deserves a rimshot. :) (Auto playing rimshot there, so don't click if you don't want sound coming out of your speakers.)
I would say it does, but, unless someone manages to dig up Imperial Mint records, we're never going to have any actual evidence that happened.
