What are "verities"?
I wonder what the first clue was for this Lincoln, Nebraska dealer that the gold coins were not genuine. Woman arrested in connection with...
Those are great, guys. I love these things. Just last week I picked up one on eBay but mine is very weakly struck.
I love contemporary counterfeit 3 Cent Silver pieces - especially those made from hand-cut dies. Can you post larger photos of your coin? I...
Not the best photo but I can tell it is off center. Should be worth a few bucks.
If you don't have one you should buy a Red Book. Or consider buying another book about coins you would like to collect.
jachin, Those are part of the design. They appear on every coin like that.
Thanks but I'm not just a pretty face. I would prefer to be recognized for my vast knowledge of coins rather just my "studly" good looks.

A coin with the same design on both sides is not a "double die". A doubled die coin is a coin that was struck with a die that has doubling from...
Making or getting dies will probably be your greatest obstacle. You will also need: A rolling mill to roll out your metal into sheets. A blanking...
That would be the edge.
The odd color does not have to be due to a manufacturing problem. All sorts of chemicals can cause a coin to tone. This coin could have come into...
Sorry, but it does not appear to be a doubleD die but rather machine doubling. (Note the flat, shelf-like doubling which is characteristic of...
The coin was struck at the San Francisco Mint (thus the 'S' mintmark). Can you point out what you refer to as "welds". Welding is not part of the...
Yes it is. If we cannot understand what someone is writing there is no communication. We should not have to decipher gobbledygook. The schools...
I didn't know unions existed back then.
Glue job.
Nickels are not plated. Cents are the only US coins that are plated. (They are copper-plated zinc.)
Separate names with a comma.
