PS- in PCGS plastic with a straight grade, it would list for $550 in G4, $650 in G6, and $800 in VG8, so this is definitely one of those coins...
I personally see it as a G6 to borderline VG8. Some minor surface issues, but I think it has a reasonably decent chance at a straight-grade if...
@dwhiz- this one made me think of you, for some reason. ;) It's being auctioned by a seller I believe is the artist himself. I have not done...
Here's the CoinFacts plate coin, by way of comparison. Note in particular the difference between the date numerals on the counterfeit in the...
What @Evan8 and @Omegaraptor said. A blatant fake, most definitely "Made in China". Sticks out like a sore thumb. Sorry.
BTW, I did have a SevAlex in my original Roman collection. Ugly and horn silver, but it cost me less than ten bucks, and didn't seem bad at all...
Congrats, @Curtisimo, et al!

Yes, those Kennedy counterstamps (and others with state outlines and such) were popular novelties sold to the general public when I was a novice...
Interesting that it sticks to a magnet. Either it's a 1976-D cent that got steel-plated somehow (outside the mint- this is not any kind of mint...
Yes. What @MontCollector said.
Doesn't look anything like silver. I guess you're seeing zinc, from where the copper plating was lost when the coin got damaged. These modern...
I've got a strong suspicion I posted this CWT the last time the "anchor" theme came around, so in case it's a repeat, I'll also add a Canadian...
Oh, I absolutely LOVE that thorny rosebush design! That would be an appealing 18th century coin to me, based on the design alone, even if it were...
That was three bucks VERY well spent, I say!
@tibor was my mentor when I was (briefly) collecting early-dated Hungarian ducats.
Great piece! Maybe a pencil rubbing would show some of the worn inscriptions better? Hm. Maybe not.
Pretty. It has already been established that I suck at grading MS Jeffies, but I'll go 65.
