Works for me SD ;) My concern was that you got what you paid for - an authentic coin.
I don't think so. Since it appears on both sides of the mint mark I think it is due to die deterioration.
Well, this is the US Forum - but I don't collect US anymore. So a bit of darkside isn't gonna hurt anything :high5: Let's try one more - a...
Howdy juju - Welcome to the Forum !! As Becky suggested, if you can tell us what city you live in, we can probably suggest a trustworthy...
Like it or not - there are those who will buy these empty boxes and COA's - place clad coins in them, and sell them as the genuine article. It...

You're right, it is. But the one thing about it that is different from other fads - that is that there has always been a sizable group of...
I do - accidents do happen ;)
Perhaps, but I doubt it. Especially when you consider that even MS64 examples slabbed by NGC or PCGS often sell for just over $1,000. But to me...
