If they're that small, I wonder if they're actually solid (low-carat) gold?
Do you really think so? Given your experience in your geographic area, don't you think there are huge numbers left that haven't been indoctrinated...
Did I spoil the joke again? :oops:
Nah, but it would have made a mess of the images in that area.
I'd drive a good distance for that, knowing that I could flip it for a profit easily. None of the pawn shops around here will sell anywhere close...
Oh, come on, Doug. It's clearly a dime planchet. Bang, "identifiable value", along with "silver or other metal". It's clearly got a partial...
Not a 1945-P? Aww... :(
Not really new at all, as I understand it.
And this thread is being left up because...? [IMG]
A strong cartwheel effect is a pretty clear sign that it's not a proof. The photos show the same texture across devices and fields. What are you...
How much would a complete set go for? At least seven cents. Probably not a lot more, at least for coins like those pictured. Are you really...
Acid can take a coin's weight down to zero (dissolving it away completely). 4.9g made me wonder about a coin struck on a nickel (5 cent)...
Of, of course. Thank you for your respect for our feelings, which are so fragile and would certainly be shattered by a photo of the newly-slabbed...
Well-said. Whether or not it had value before, it certainly does now for you and your family!
If it's in Littleton plastic, what does the label say? I didn't think they were in the business of selling problem coins...
Yup, I'm afraid it's just a fake. :( The real coin doesn't have a reeded edge like that, and as @YoloBagels said, the strike is all wrong.
It may take a while for knowledgeable people to hit the thread. It will help to provide photos of both sides of the coin, and of the edge if you...
What? I don't see any breaks in the band separation... :rolleyes:
Sure looks like one. Don't know if it could be a plating defect instead -- is this a post-1982 coin?
Makes sense. Not foolproof, but errors would be rare. When I took a course on computer security (decades ago), one of the topics was using...
