Re: Is This A Joke? EBay Seller Advertising damaged Or Counterfeit Buffalo Nickel
There is a rectangle surrounding the date that I have never seen on another Buffalo Nickel. Perhaps it’s a way to change the date on false die with a drop in like Joseph Merriam used on his Tuttle’s Restaurant and Harvey Lewis sutler dies? The reverse looks odd. I don’t have a photo of a 1937 Buffalo Nickel. -
Re: 1964-D Lincoln on Gold planchet, Weight is in...
It could easily be gold. Don't forget about all the counterfeit 1964 error cents struck from false dies. The same "mint" could have produced this coin. -
Re: Some pics: two SC$'s, one through NCS, one a straight NGC and 1943-P/D/S copper. TT for picture to M
<< <i>Second opinion - the 1943 cents are fake. They appear to be struck counterfeits. >> Since the original 1943 cents are steel, they can be easily used as hubs to create false dies. -
Re: Awesome Double Denomination Error
1) A struck quarter could not possibly make it through the automatic feeding system on a press set up to strike cents. 2) If a press that was set up to feed quarters had cent dies installed in it, it is still unlikely that the quarter could make it through the feeding mechanism because a struck quarter is larger in… -
Re: This 21-S Walker is slabbed by our host as "repaired" Can anyone tell where it was repaired?

Re: I personally find this to be somewhat unethical...am I wrong.
The only thing missing is that his dog just died. I find it interesting that "slander" was used. (False statements injurious to a person's reputation.) Since the statements are true, might be closer to gossip! -
Re: See anything weird about this Buffalo 5¢? (UPDATED) Got it in.
My first thought was that it looked like some of the modern engraved Hobo Nickels you see. My second thought was that it looked like a modern cast or maybe crude false dies. -
Re: Interesting double struck IHC
It’s an error, Flip over double struck, rotated in collar, VF 20 ish details. Cool coin worth a bit too Maybe false dies but it looks ok to me -
Re: Red Sox @ Twins cancelled due to potential riots in the area.
Otto Zehm in Spokane. A false report was called in about him and then retracted. The police heard the retraction and attempted an arrest anyway - by attacking him. He complied but was hogtied facedown anyway and died. -
Re: A 1913 Liberty nickel tidbit...Sam Brown
First, people are often, in a variety of circumstances, too quick to draw conclusions from documents. It is tempting and easy to take statements literally without considering reasons why a literal interpretation may be false or misleading. Secondly, we both know that some numismatic researchers and coin collectors have…
