Generally, if it is showing copper on both sides it is environmentally damaged. It's not copper, it's rust, oxidation. Also, if the weight is...
I'm going to go out on a limb and say it is worth a quarter. First you need to weigh it. Second, is the copper only on one side or both sides? Be...
Laziness mostly. I put my spare change into the coin acceptor at the grocery store, and I get 100% of the value, not 89%. You put $100 worth of...
Here's an owl on a dollar bill: [ATTACH]
Also got a Native American dollar at that site/hunt. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I have a few things like that. Where I didn't remember where I got it (I know it was a park but not which one), or I found it in a pile of junk...
It's a nickel from 1910. Prob worth around $1.
Let's see the 1920. Oldest wheatie I pulled was 1930. Dime on the grill today and some miscellaneous exonumia on the shelf. 2 arcade tokens, 1...
In Mexico they devalued the Peso 1000-1 around 1992. Your 100 peso coin is worth 1/10th of a peso in new money. 1 peso is about a nickel US so...

I just meant all of this analysis prob wouldn't be nec if we could see the obv. (If the rev. was the better side looking of this fake.) How do we...
Let's see the obverse.
1856 Flying Eagle 2,000
Nice doubling on the lettering. That's very bright green (verdigris?)
Do they know how many counterfeit trimes were "circulated", or in collections today? Survival rate. Being such a tiny coin, I guess it was easy to...
If you want to send it in, it's your money. But you're not going to get a 67 with either of those. The 2nd one looks a little better than the 1st.
Oh I'd be happy to find something like that. I'm sure there is a way to identify what the coin is. Just have to keep doing research, and post some...
I also thought British but the figure was posing in the other direction. But it's not my area and old British coins were common here. Keep...
Not 68. Maybe 64 and 65 tops. It has to be almost perfect to be 68. Any flaws, any discolorations, any nicks is going to drop it way down.
