SCORE!!!!!!! I love e-bay --- 1864-L indian

mbbiker · June 14, 2003 12:27PM

Is this a 1864 - L ?????

ldhair · June 14, 2003 12:38PM

I see something there but it's not clear enough to tell.

originalisbest · June 14, 2003 12:39PM

Yes, that is one. Pointed bust, and the "L" is just to the right, at the base, of the last feather in the headdress. The light in this photo helps highlight it.

kamehameha00 · June 14, 2003 12:39PM

yep its there

I SAID IT FIRST! ..........!!!!!!!!!

mbbiker · June 14, 2003 12:41PM

If you look in cherrypickers guide it says the 64-L has a pointed bust and the regular 64 is more rounded, anyone know what it would be worth in that condition?

kamehameha00 thanks for the quick help I really appreciate it.

wallstreetman · June 14, 2003 12:58PM

Why didnt I see an auction like this when I was looking for mine!

njcoincrank · June 14, 2003 1:02PM

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but from the scans it looks like the coin could be counterfeit. Can't really tell from the scans, but it has some raised "pimple" marks on the surface. Possibly one of the "Bay Area Counterfeits"

Just an opinion.

originalisbest · June 14, 2003 1:04PM

Not to squelch your enthusiasm, mbbiker, as that is a '64-L and a nice deal at $26 for the detail - but it's not worth $275. Pitmarks, abraded surfaces and verdigris on the reverse make the price you paid seem more or less, to me, a fair one. It will certainly fill an album space though, nuthin' wrong with that.

Edit: someday I'll learn to hit all the right keys.

kieferscoins · June 14, 2003 1:05PM

I was just thinking the same thing as njcrackcoin with that funky looking rim and the bubles on the obverse.

Cameron Kiefer

originalisbest · June 14, 2003 1:06PM

Or, what njcoincrank said - hope that's not the case.

wallstreetman · June 14, 2003 1:08PM

That coin is legal tender!

Rampage · June 14, 2003 11:17PM

Looks good to me, too.

Send it in to ANACS to be sure if you want to.

I think $26.00 was a good price, too.

fishcooker · June 14, 2003 11:34PM

Where are the comments on splitting the difference ($26 vs $260) with the seller?

Lakesammman · June 15, 2003 12:06AM

Would agree it looks fishy.

tradedollarnut · June 15, 2003 1:04AM

SCORE!!!!!!! I love e-bay

That's funny - I swear the seller just posted the same thing!!!!

carterhaines · June 15, 2003 1:24AM

Here is the same thing I posted on your last post about this coin:

Its a candidate for being genuine, but I would say it is a cast copy due to the bumps and the dimples in the rim.

I suggest you check the edge ("the third side of a coin") to see if there is a thin raised line of something similar (you may need to look under magnification)

RotatedRainbows · June 15, 2003 1:28AM

The raised lumps above the 6 and in a few other areas make it look like a cast counterfeit but the picture is to poor to tell for sure.

coinguy1 · June 15, 2003 1:31AM

#1 most likely case: It's a fake/copy
#2 most likely case: It's genuine but cleaned/not original
#3 most likely case: #1 and #2 above

originalisbest · June 15, 2003 1:45AM

Ouch.
Ouch.
Ouch.

Sorry mbbiker - this is starting to sound like the "no santa claus in numismatics" theme. Believe me though, $26 is not as expensive of a lesson as some are. Tread carefully!

wallstreetman · June 15, 2003 2:00AM

There are a lot of good copies out there, but not that good! I will bet anyone out there its real!

wingedliberty · June 15, 2003 2:09AM

The grainy and porous nature of the surface also leads me to believe that its countefeit.
If it is not, it would surely be neted out by ANACS to VF30.

Save your money, WSM.

jdimmick · June 15, 2003 2:53AM

It is a 64-L, but in the surface condition its in, if Genuine, not worth much more than you paid for it IMO

wallstreetman · June 15, 2003 2:57AM

Stick to Trade Dollars!

pontiacinf · June 15, 2003 3:02AM

njcoincrank said it all...no dancing till its authenticated..that thing has more pimples than my sister.

<< <i>There are a lot of good copies out there, but not that good! I will bet anyone out there its real! >>

wallstreetman, if you have ever heard of an Omega counterfeit, and then if you though about what wouldve happened if the designer didnt place on that "O"; you wouldnt be saying that.

CoinWhiz · June 15, 2003 3:08AM

No way its AU 50. I grade it VF 30 with an approximate value of $130 or so, but I'm not sure what sort of effect the pitting might have(obviously it would lower it a bit, but I dont know how much).

IrishMike · June 15, 2003 3:18AM

A nice XF-45 is worth about $150, that coin is not XF if it is indeed real. It looks like a cast copy from that picture, but you need to study the rims. If it is real I would value it between $30 and $45.

wallstreetman · June 15, 2003 3:34AM

carterhaines, not as good as the Omega Currency!

tradedollarnut · June 15, 2003 4:07AM

Stick to Trade Dollars!

LOL!

WSM - get a clue. The coin is an obvious cast copy. Either that or Miss Liberty is entering puberty and has a bad case of acne!

Perhaps you should stick to what you know best - can you tell us what might that be? [it's obviously not numismatics!]

kamehameha00 · June 15, 2003 4:22AM

i was sleepy last night i should no better to grade when my eyes are already shut...but i did it anyway...and i realised it probaly was a fake but...i said it was real cuz i was tired...im going to bed...
