My newest coin is absolutely beautiful in my hands. The camera and lights don’t do it justice! The face/head if they were frosty this coin would be a proof! The reflection in the field isn’t quite there, but very reflective. If the strike was just a bit deeper this coin could easily be graded much higher.

I don’t know why but it’s something about the design of them simple, yet elegant…..I don’t know.
Just really like them.

Maybe no one wanted to state the obvious but one is a real $20 gold Liberty head and the other is
A Comp spiel Marke used during the gold rush years as gaming money. I thought they looked pretty cool next to each other and I guess back then when you had several beers and gambling heavily as you drank

5 months and CC is funky. It’s a new old purchase. I wish I never had made. Does anyone know what this is called?
Nice how the fibers from junk box spreads all over. Look at this picture. Some kind of spot and fiber dump.
At first, looked cut with something? But when I further examined, the issue on the obverse looks as if it's convex (raised appearance) ? The two issues on the reverse, does look concave (hole appearance). So why would one side look convex and another side look concave? Wouldn't both sides appear concave if cut?
That's the first issue. The other issue is on the date. Right of the "9"? What in the world?
RPM? Thanks guys
Your steel cent looks to be reprocessed. It was stripped of its plating then plated again.

Kennedys are my quest...
I won this on fleaBay at about HALF of what I paid for my first ungraded one.
Needless to say, I am exceedingly happy about that . . . . . . .
The fleaBay gods have been smiling on me lately.
I hope no one here was the seller . . . . . . .
