I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous. Don't excuse fraud. If someone with a reputation for selling fakes sells you a fake, they've still committed...
I can't speak for his coins, but I will say that he apparently has a pair of, erm, glands that are quite genuine. And large.
Any chance it could simply be nickel-plated?
Hmm. So, were you lying a couple weeks ago, or were you lying in the post you just made?
I used to spend quite a lot of time on eBay looking for bargains -- often, batches of disadvantaged coins that had one or two treasures hidden...
Have you waved a magnet over them yet? One or two, I'd look at them carefully. A whole pile like that, at "a great price" -- yeah, that doesn't...
Although they certainly have us "in mind" enough to prohibit use of gift cards and many promotional discounts in our categories. :mad:
...but those dollars trade at at least $15 each. A bit under $2 each for the 40% Kennedy halves, face value for the clad halves and nickels,...

The thread I linked above spells out a solution that probably works just as well: one part white vinegar, two parts household hydrogen peroxide (3%).

See if you can light from the top for the reverse, too -- at first glance, it looked like all the design on the reverse was incuse, which was...
Content saved just in case. Thanks for sharing.

Just in this album, or in others? I don't think I've ever seen an album that put Philly anywhere but the first position.
I don't think the coin in the OP was made that color on purpose, but I also don't think it's market acceptable.
This is wisdom.
Sorry to disappoint, but I'm pretty sure that's machine doubling -- flat, shelf-like, and not corresponding to any known variety.
I see a light spot where the S would be. At this size and resolution, that's the best I'd expect.
I can't see how they would be, given that trade dollars were made to circulate (yeah, overseas, but they definitely did), and ASEs were made to...
Separate names with a comma.
