So...Mint product? Or created outside...

Outhaul

you be the judge

Personally, it doesn't look like ANY capped die I've ever seen.

<< <i>Now here is the deal. As you know, I cannot and will not offer or accept returns on ANY estate coin or note I sell because once it is sold, I only have a few days to pay the estate for the auction and I am bound under contract. My contract states "No returns may be offered nor will a return be accepted on any as is auction". BUT...I have heard of people out there trying to damage coins to make them look like mint errors because as you know..some mint errors are worth THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS!!! >>



and then he says:



<< <i>But anyway...back to this coin. If you get it and it is not what I said it is, I will actually break my contract and take a return on it because I in no way, shape or form want to sell a coin that was altered to make it look like an error!! So go ahead and bid...what do you have to lose?!?! I will even refund your shipping and insurance just to make sure you are not only happy >>

We've been all over it with this seller in past threads, but usually for selling polished, cleaned, whizzed and doctored-every-which-way coins while citing stupid "values" for them.

The Intimidator, rest his soul, deserves better than to have his name used by a seller like this.

No way that is a real capped die. The reverse of a true capped die would look much like the pictures, but the obverse would not be distorted at all - the bottom of the "bowl" would look just like a normal cent, with none of the design creeping up the sides. Think about it - the sides of the cap are formed by the sides of the die as the planchet wraps around it - only the very bottom should have the obverse design.

I don't know.
Maybe it is maybe it isn't.
I never saw one that deeply bowled before.
I can't think of a way for two dies to have it come out that way on the presses.
Would he really honor the return priviledge after waiting 45 days for it to be graded or not?

It's phoney as Sean says.

It looks like it was pushed out with smoething the size of a half dime.

Hahahaha I missed out on a 97 killer coin!!

coombsy0 didn't just get screwed, he had it stuck in & broke off in him.
The 5 underbidders that bid over $150 should be glad they didn't win.
Fake as the day is long. The pounding of the die would have obliterated the rev design against the planchets that fed into the press.

Definitely and undeniably fake. It looks like it was machine pressed (post mint) to end up as a button. It's probably a contemporary work, someone thought it would be cute to have cents as buttons on their frock or cape. I've seen a couple of these before....but not being sold as mint errors.

Yeah, it's a mint product.


The Indian cent, that is, before somebody decided to murder it with a hammer.


Oh. 'Scuse me. I meant INDAIN cent.
