<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 82973, member: 66&quot;]2coins, I hope for your sake that it does come back as struck on a brass planchet.&nbsp; And if it does I will happily come on here, eat humble pie and beg your forgiveness for having doubted it.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I have seen literally hundreds of worn, cleaned indianhead cents that look EXACTLY like the most recent pictures you have posted of your coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>If we seem overly skeptical it is because we are constantly having people come up with some item that they think is a great rarity.&nbsp; Every now and then we are thrilled to be able to confirm that yes they have hit the jackpot.&nbsp; But for everyone of those we have to wade through literally thousands of fakes, altered pieces, mis-identified pieces, and simply a lot of wishful thinking from people who have found something common that they think they are going to retire on.&nbsp; It makes us rather jaded.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 99 quarter on an experimental planchet is interesting.&nbsp; Do you know any more about it?&nbsp; Unfortunately PCGS didn&#039;t give any real information about it on the holder and I&#039;m curious about what is the experimental nature of it.&nbsp; (By the way I don&#039;t trust PCGS attributions very much either.&nbsp; I have seen too many simple identifications that they have blown completely.&nbsp; On another forum someone was asking about an 1837 large date dime and how it was different from the small date.&nbsp; In the tread he showed pictures of his PCGS large and small dates, and pictures of three or four more PCGS &quot;large&quot; dates were shown.&nbsp; Every single one of the coins were small dates.&nbsp; And this is an &quot;arms length&quot; varietiy, very easy to identify and PCGS blew it four times out of five.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
