So I have been wondering for some time about the newer small cents. We all know they are made from zinc and coated with copper. When does the...
I thought even replica coins with "copy" stamped on them were not allowed on ebay anymore either?
You can see the sprue's around the rim from it being cast. Some people must not read?
It is always fun to look at pocket change at the end of the day and see what is going on with the coins. I have found coins, both new and old,...
I saw this seller's OTHER post for a copper 43 wheat. You can clearly see that it is not authentic by the pictures and the fact that he had two...

In other words...say, trying to alter the coin?
What is the cause of damage to this coin? I havent seen anything like it before...little "craters" all over and the rim being gouged. Looks like...
