    Wow a million dollars worth of Wheat Cent, Merc Dime, Washie & Seated Quarters false mint errors on nails can now be had out of China for how much? image



    The Seated Quarter on a modern galvanized nail now proves the Chinese have also invented a time machine imageimage

    I don't think the real ones will take a hit from these fakes,
    as they are easy to identify, and we know about the 5 pcs.
    from the West Point Depository,from 1977, and about the
    Dimes and NH Quarter on Nails that came out of the
    Philadelphia Mint at the end of 2000.

    I'm pretty familiar with both groups mentioned above,
    but I agree that some collectors will buy these new
    counterfeit pieces because 'they're a bargain'.

    The sad thing is, they were all intentionally made to defraud collectors, even the ones you have seen coming from the US mint.

    Both were probably made on purpose("the real deal" and the ones shown by the OP)...though some with fake dies. Not much of a difference to me.

    Actually a lot...I have bought items on the BST here that as soon as I opened the package everything including the coins had a very very strong odor of cigarette smoke....actually overpowering. When I Contacted the seller and complained he said " yeah I know, my wife chain smokes and I can't get her to quit".

    Question: How can there be an authentic one???
    did a mint officially issue such a thing as legal tender?
    Today is the first day of the rest of my life
  • YQQYQQ Posts: 3,333 ✭✭✭✭✭


    Just checked our hosts certification detail.
    I find this very difficult to believe that it was certified. considering they do not even certify certain varieties?
    Just wondering "in writing" what the grading criteria was based on???

    PCGS Coin Information
    PCGS # E11111
    Date, mintmark No Date
    Denomination 10C
    Mint Error Struck on a Nail
    Country The United States of America
    Grade MS65
    Holder Type Standard
    Today is the first day of the rest of my life
