I suppose I'm just all over the place :)
Accurately describes my youth, but I bet you I'll still get slabbed one day :p
Intent doesn't matter when you buy the fake :/
If we are going to be 100% objective then you are completely right. Also, we would own lots of modern fakes. Objectivity is great most places, but...
I'll never forget the presidential quarters that were just normal state quarters with a paper sticker on them, at like $20 each if I remember...
That may be true, but patterns are hard to ignore :)
The best scammers are the bold ones. They always respond and are usually aggressive and go with the blitz approach.
Both good ideas. Still have a few payphones around here in NYC. I guess the heart of the matter is that it's settled in my mind - product and...

That's why I rethought the matter of intent. The message I sent is a pretty generic one I've been sending for a few years to sellers I see selling...
Pieces like this one are transfer die copies, which is why they mostly match details on original dies. Someone back then with the means to steal...
It's nearly impossible to tell what it actually looks like from those photos. Bad contrast and flash angle :(
Sorry for not posting any pics of the coins I was referring to. Concern over "identifiers" and all, but I guess it doesn't really matter :) I...
