I think you only called it a "fake" -- which is completely correct. No worries, I wasn't trying to be pedantic, I was more trying to be precise....
Wowzers...yeah, that 3 pence has seen better days. Melt is $0.71, I'd guess that's about its max. :)
For the record, it is likely not a counterfeit -- it is a forgery. Yes, there is a difference, and yes something can be both things....
Hi Bruce, "Broadstruck" (another exonumia guy on a couple other forums) felt similarly on the S&H token. He quoted the obverse as R-4 and the...
Two new pieces of exonumia. The first is a pretty difficult merchant token to hunt down...the Indian bust obverse has just stunning detail, and...
Nope, Stef, no signs of double strike on mine. I did notice that on yours in your NGC set. We have 2 of the 24, I wonder where the rest are. ;)

Ok, here are the other three I picked up last week. 1) NGC got the 208 obverse die attribution wrong, as they called it 207. I didn't care...
Hi Bruce, thanks for the kind words. I do have 3 more CWTs that I picked up on my road trip last week. I'll try to photograph them and post...
I've been shooting with LEDs for 3 years, and I am very happy with them. I know others are perfectly happy with CFLs, incandescents, and...
I picked up these two Civil War tokens in the 9/6/2014 Heritage Long Beach Auction. The first is a store card for the pharmacist Thomas Brimelow...
I think this thread is a bit misled. Most of us who don't really give two spits about CAC coins don't have that opinion because we see oodles of...
I don't understand what point(s) you're trying to make in this thread. Best of luck with whatever it is you are trying to clarify for members...
NGC disagrees...slabbed "Obverse Scratched" ...I would go with their opinion... in hand.
For NGC slabs, wrap in a towel. Place on hard floor/concrete on long edge, and give it a couple or three good whacks with a hammer along the long...
I'm all for collecting what you like. These particular coins I would have collected and left raw -- I don't see what the PCGS or NGC slabs...
I agree with Tom. Particularly the 1921 Morgan looks pretty much ruined, and the 1881-S in the NGC verification images has a pretty...
Well, unless you sent all of the labels back to NGC when you cracked them out and sent them to PCGS, then you can still look them up in the NGC...
Leave the horses out of your punny business. ;)
Gorgeous coins Zohar -- but I'm with Galen59. They are too expensive in conditions that I would want to collect. I guess we just have to look at...
