I can tell a coin is original............

Oh yeah, my commentary. I rank "original" right up there with all the other overused hype in the hobby like monster-rainbow-PQ-Gem-Rare-etc., etc., etc. because.............

...............it always gets the longed for attention. And really, there are limited cases when a coin's true originality can be known, despite whether or not you agree.

    Al, I think its very hard to guarantee such a thing since a lot of coins that look "original" now may have been dipped way back when and have retoned. I think on some of the early commems. such as the Monroe esp. in 65 most have similar toning and do recieve points for being original-----------------------BigE

    Number one is the only one I can be sure of. But I picked the last answer cause it was the coolest. image

    ...I don't care whether it is original, cleaned, whizzed, slider, or whatever...as long as it meets my requirements:

    - I like it,
    - I like it a lot,
    - I like it a whole lot,
    - I like it without qualifications,
    - I can't live without it,
    - I'm addicted to it, and finally
    - the price is right.

    To me a "rare" coin is a rare coin is a rare koin, and the community has been "brain washed" or mislead about so-called "original" coin. Afterall are they making "rare" coins anymore?

    Maybe I can't say for sure it's original.... but I usually can tell if it's not original.

    Keets, thanks for the thumbs up. But are you sure? To be quite honest.... I danced in a circle. (add wink now.)
