I think the delineation between altered and counterfeit is that an altered coin is a real coin that has been physically changed in some way (metal...
Yes, it is mine. Actually, it's a beautiful Proof. And, oddly enough, it happens to be one coin that I'm looking to possibly sell sometime this...

Actually, that's quite an intelligent and perceptive thing to do. Personally, I own a number of 1875's and 1876's. I have everything from Fine...
I think it looks like a very decent dip job and actually did the coin a lot of good. It definitely raised the value a ton and the eye appeal is...
Are you collecting all the business strikes? Proofs? Both? What's your favorite? Highest grade? One thing you gotta love. The series is...
