Then you are lacking in knowledge on both the physics of striking coins and how to interpret lights and shadows in images. It certainly doesn’t...
Yes, that is obvious, and that’s why the feathers pop out in your pics. In PCGS’ pics, the lighting is from an angle parallel with the wing...
This is post mint damage. The metal has been moved from how it was originally struck. Plus they are indented, which means they cannot be artifacts...
Fire?
Well, considering the shield is opposite to the eagle’s head and neck, metal flow won’t affect the wing feather areas you indicated earlier. Not...
No. It is a low relief area (which don’t have strike issues) with little variation in elevation. That’s how the lighting makes it look like there...
You grossly overestimate the scope of the problem and the ability of a dealer to recognize every stolen coin. They are able to recognize...
People often go metal detecting by themselves on land they have permission to detect on. And they occasionally find rare and valuable coins. But...
Privacy laws are a thing. Then very few coins would ever be bought and sold. That would effectively grind the market to a halt. *Citation...
This one is worth less than 2 times more. I’d go for this one instead. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Yet not PROOF that the coin was stolen. Weak strike? [ATTACH] Nope. Just the lighting (same coin, different pic setups). [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Okay, let’s use some examples: I bought this from a well-established dealer who is on the up-and-up. He probably bought it from the submitter (It...
What level of “proof” is adequate? Most coins, especially raw cheaper and modern ones, have no provenance chain prior to the current owner and...
You offered conjecture, nothing more. Show me a police report where this exact coin was reported missing/stolen, or show me where this exact coin...
Tell me the pedigree of every single Morgan dollar on the market, and I will start lending credence to your responses. You cannot expect every...
It’s also possible that he pays to have his >$450 coins professionally photographed. @jtlee321 offers a similar service.
I was thinking about this. He could be the son of a coin dealer who lets him use professional photography equipment. There is a huge difference in...
You have no idea what you are talking about
The claim is coming from you, so the burden of proof is on you. Also, your “opinions” could land you with a libel suit if you are wrong.
