    It’s real. But his lighting was from like 5 o’clock I think... throwing off the shadows and appearance in general.

    Some more better coins that came in this week . . .

    Very scarce 1865-S Dime in PCGS VF30, which I think is a tad better . . .

    0.10-1865-s-1.jpg 0.10-1865-s-2.jpg 0.10-1865-s-3.jpg


    A really nice original better date 1865 Seated Half . . .

    0.50-1865-1.jpg 0.50-1865-2.jpg


    And an original better date 1879-S Double Eagle, again, seemingly a bit conservatively graded. Sorry about the smudging and lines on the reverse side of the holder . . . I ran out of Renusit, and can't fix right now.

    I don't think the photos have anything to do with the fact that the letters and numerals look nothing like they should. I see many questionable details, but the easiest thing to pick up on is that the "0" in both the date and denomination is thinner and narrower than on the real thing.

    Vertigo Did someone say bust?

    Actually I see what he's saying. The entire date looks somewhat off. The numbers appear bigger thicker. I've been looking at a lot of 1809 lately because am trying to find one to buy. What does that slab say because I can't see the grade. I can't seem to find your original post either but am looking.

    Here's a overton 102 in some decent images. (Not my coin image was taken from the internet!)

    @ToughCOINS , you’re saying that this exact coin that @okbustchaser bought is a fake? The images you’re referring to is the same coin as this one. It’s genuine.

    Yeah, you're right John. I can see from the toning patterns that it's the same coin, and it definitely looks real in the photos you posted. This wasn't the first time I've been fooled by photographs, and likely won't be the last.

    False alarm @okbustchaser . . . sorry about that . . . Mike

    Can that accurately represent Wisconsin if the cow is not wearing the cheese as a hat?

    Not a problem...as I said above I'm always ready to learn something new even after 50 years (as of next month) of specializing in bust halves.

    Read so many of his books. Really enjoyed everything i've read of his. Especially liked Waterloo. And I've gotten my grandson into reading them too.

    I’ve been fooled by lighting and photography as well. Once on a flying eagle cent that I thought was fake. Different photos and lighting positions, however, proved me wrong. It’s truly insane how lighting can change the appearance of a coin.

    copper cent planchets was not cleaned out of the planchet bin at the mint prior to changing over to Nickel minting. PRESTO - copper nickels.
