There are more 1792 half dismes with holes than you might think. The thing that made this piece unusual was that the rest of the coin was really...
Here is the biggest tragedy that I have seen for a damaged coin. This is a 1792 half disme. Many collectors think that it was the first U.S. coin....
That looks like a good one. These coins frequently come with unattractive black spots, which cannot be removed without causing more damage. The...
You put whatever price you want on what you are trying sell. The question is, will anyone pay it?
If you really want something that no other collector has, you can get this 1906 ASE. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] And if you really want to double down on...
I should also post this picture of this "Franken-coin." As you can see it has "monster toning" too. :vamp: That will make it even more attractive...
At that price, I'll pass.
Yes, and after the buyer has purchased it, he can ignore the fact that it's an unstamped counterfeit and sell it to person who does not know any...
And one in Good-4 is on the Grey Sheet for $2,500. This thing will not sell as a VF to anyone who knows what they are doing. An expert would stay...
Yes, "tooling" is often the term used for coins that have been messed with in this way. It was often done to large cents in the 19th century. Back...
As "The Red Book" has stated for years, "All half cents are scarce."
Some one just bid $4,850 for this coin on eBay. It attracted 45 bids. This coin has been extensively re-engraved. The detail on Ms. Liberty's eye...
It does not have "COPY" or "REPRODUCTION" on it so it is still illegal. Here is a genuine piece. [ATTACH] Here is the fake in the OP post....
Could it be that the hub (the master image from which all of the working dies are are made) is wearing out again? That happened between 1909 and...
I have been collector for over 60 years, but I have only been collecting ancient Roman Imperial coins for about three. Before that, I collected...
No, those two pieces don't look "scary good" to experienced collectors and dealers. I said "counterfeit" as soon as I saw them. The dates were...
I see something more than just some dulling in fields from circulation. I think that it has been cleaned and probably won't get a straignt grade....
Given the fact that it is damaged, it's worth whatever 40% silver clad melt is. I did a quick Google search and got $7.10. This coin is easy to...
I will never understand why the mint did that. It is a terrible place for the date because album collectors can never see it unless they take the...
Thank you for clearing up that issue. I have learned something. Of course, the next question is, why bother on a base metal coin?
