This one looks like the real thing. Just kidding

Are you willing to reveal who the TPG is ?

Russ

I'm not sure on that one. The date looks a little funky. Do you have a closeup?

I did not notice who the TPG was- I don't pay attention to things like that.

All I did was take a picture of this coin and I thought you would all enjoy it but if your going to be like this I won't show you the 1933 saint

Wishful thinking

I was doing some family history research when I stumbled onto the most amazing thing. Reading newspapers, circa 1900, from a small town in Indiana where my family originated, there was a small note indicating that a great-great-great-uncle of mine had an 1895 dollar and was showing it around town, claiming that it was worth $500. Uncle Levi died without children, in the 1940s, and I have no idea what became of his 1895 (or if it was even real). It turns out that 1895s weren't trading for anywhere near $500 at the time (or even $50), and maybe that explains why Uncle Levi wasn't the best businessman, perpetually mortgaging his farm, according to his land title history.

This one does not belong to me either.

Looks like a light scratch mark next to the lower part of the torch. PCGS MS65. Heck, give it a 66 for the rarity factor.

They say some king in the middle east used to own this and it got the scratch from being dropped from one of the great pyramids by accident when it was being wiped.

When what was being wiped?

Yeh but that's what the "slab" says it is so it must be!

Slab? I do not notice things like this.

I don't mean to be a bad sport and missed the rest of the original thread after my early post, BUT if you just lost maybe $20,000 how would this be funny? (unless it was Russ of course)

From what I hear it is Russ that owns the 95. This thread is purely light hearted on my part. The owner of that coin in the other thread should be thankful some forum members pointed out those problems and hopefully he can get the coin checked out by some pro's. mike

Ah ha, I thought Russ was behind this coin. Looks like he'll be getting his first NEG in a long while!

I think the serifs on the foot of the 1 are not of the proper style.......... in fact, they are missing.......... If someone with Photoshop could enlarge the area, (and maybe circle it) I believe you will see what I'm talking about.......... Of course, grease could have filled the die before striking, smoeone coud have removed them, or this could be a new discovery.............

I don't find this to be funny. But I missed the original thread about this so called fake so I can't make much more comment than that.

I actually did once own an 1895. O mint. Severely cleaned. Came in as part of a collection I bought from an estate.
