Having zero knowledge of this - why not? Well, I can certainly respect that! I don't collect large cents, so I can't really appreciate what an...
Ok, good.... because I was going to say that it really looks fake. For education, can you point out two or three of the most significant signs...
Huh, that is weird. I guess its a good way to get a "copy" of a very rare coin or a scarce variety. Does it do any damage to the host coin? I...
Is this one of your real-or-fake posts, or did you recently purchase this as a genuine error? At this point, I don't want to comment until I...
Definitely a modern reproduction. Compare to the Heritage listings here. Yours would be MS-64 and worth a hundred thousand dollars, easily, if...
You have to closely analyze and check every single item, but I've definitely ordered items from China and Russia and received beautiful, original...
I'd strongly suspect the best taler collections are in the hands of European old money families (descendants of the dukes and duchies who made...
Yup, that definitely appears to be a fake, as T$ identified. This seems like good info for @TypeCoin971793 and @Jack D. Young , the experts on...
Well, well, well - the story gets a little more interesting! I was doing a bit of reading about the Detroit Money Museum, and its founder Nathan...

The Moroccan Cast Money Tree Or, A Journey to the Deepest Corners of Numismatic History by Jason Poe Any of you who know me know that I’m a fan...
I'll be honest, unless you have a really strong desire to have it in a slab, there is no reason to send this one in. The fees will be $30, and the...
Absolutely. That's the standard disclaimer when grading from photos - being able to turn it under the light and see how the luster behaves is...
Huh, that's interesting. I guess I hadn't really thought about it like that. I just knew that certain series are available in certain dates. The...
That's an unusual grade for this coin. As far as I know, these didn't circulate. In hand, can you find the wear? Do you agree with this grade?
There are quite a few examples of auctions where a coin was listed as a proof, but it is now considered to be a PL example. Before reputable...
I think they should have kept the angry dolphins. I really like them. My biggest problem with the SLQ is that it is completely unknown in...
Can you try taking pictures with different lighting? I think that many guessers here are getting thrown off by the lighting which makes it look...
Separate names with a comma.
