Yes they look thoroughly fake indeed
If I understand correctly, I think he means the reduction process from using a lathe to create master hubs and dies? In this case, it doesn't...
And this is why I collect raw coins. There are plenty of distractions already without the TPGs
Nice set. I assume you will be sending these in? Looks like some strong potential with a few of them :)
Very nice and a good choice. How many 100+ year old silver coins can you really get in MS67 without ripping a hole in your wallet now-a-days? :)

Picked up this interesting specimen. Silver washed copper or bronze, appears to be made from a transfer die as the details are correct but the...
Very well done site :)
I'll PM you :)
Early 2000's NYC is not the current NYC, but I get your point. :)
