I would suspect counterfeit. The rim look to be separated from the denticals on both sides and the denticals are not uniform and oddly worn. I...
I've only seen that date at coin shows and only twice in 22 years
A nice coin even if it is bent, and a key date for any morgan collector. I'd pay $300 for it even as a filler.
I have to say fake also. besides the odd 1 (the entire date looks odd) it was the chin and lower lip that got me. The lower lip should not look...
Other than looking like they have been cleaned, they look genuine to me. I compared it to my GSA and they look good except for the wear.
I still see more detail in the first picture. Not sure exactly what you are seeing to call it AU, but I'm not seeing it. I would be glad to hear...
It's seems really hard to get one of those Budgood Bags, unless you know him personnally. I know I'm still trying.
Very well said. You can polish a turd so it looks brilliant, but it's still a turd until someone unknowing thinks it's a diamond in the ruff.
I would say MS-62 or 63. I'm not sure what you are concidering wear, but I've seen many that grade MS with more obvious defects. The mark on the...
I would say AU-50 would be right. Without seeing better pics, I wouldn't go higher than that. Pictures showing the entire coin straight on might...
Glad to see you saw what I did. I did not concider the odd 9 at first glace, but on second look, the line runs throught the 9 to the rim leading...
But the thread was not about counterfeit items, it was about stolen items. Ebay can not be required to verify that an item is not stolen just as...
From your picture of the date, the dollar looks like it was whizzed at one time. That aside, I would say AU-50. The suspected clash in the 8 is...
To respond to that comment would be pointless. Unless something can be proven it's call speculation, and if you apply that to every item that can...
I can't find anything to dispute the VAM, but from the very first picture you posted it looks to me like there is way to many contact marks,...
On heritgae, an 1884-CC graded by ICG MS-60 is currently going for $80, but it does have 2 days + left.
2009 Red book, Numismedia on line price, pcgs on line, and at my local coin dealer. Although I have seen that the only coin I did see on Heritage...
Way to go Rhoggman. It's alway fun to hear someone find a VAM morgan. I, unfortunately, am still looking for that piece of uniqueness....
I was thinking VF-12 also, but it seems like the 1892 CC are going for way more than they should. The mintage is higher than 1883 or 84 but even...
I agree that the coin does not look authentic. However, for $40 or so, you can send it in and find out. If it is authentic, that's quite a find,...
Separate names with a comma.
