Re: Found in a roll.....A cool Lincoln.
To make a pair of false dies, place a coin between two sheets of relatively soft metal, such as aluminum or brass, and squeeze them all together in a bench vise. The design of the coin will be sunk into the two sheets of metal. Now move one (as in this case) or both sheets of metal relative to the coin and squeeze again.… -
Re: Martellus Bennett cracks me up
I completely agree with ya. It goes even deeper than that with the health effects, and it bugs the living yell out of me when i read nonsense such as nobody ever died from smoking marijuana. That premise is absolutely false, and I'll leave it at that. BTW - You mentioned the car accidents. A guy who hung around with us in… -
Re: Coughlin gets 1 year extension....
<< <i> No actually Im NOT kidding. Burress is a good receiver, I never said he was bad. Shockey is a great TE as well. I dont follow the Giants obviously but I do follow Football and IMO I think their Offense is a bit slow, Toomer is another good receiver but what I meen about Playmakers is big name players like a Owens,… -
Re: $3 gold collectors
<< <i>they both have the same mark on the cheek too. i say fake now for sure. hope you didn't buy them. >> Excellent observation. The original genuine coin that was used to create the false dies had a bag mark at that location which was transfered to the die and then subsequently transfered to the coins struck by the false… -
Re: For those of you who want a playoff in college football
I disagree with you. The fact is that in college basketball there will be ONE true national champion Tuesday morning. It does not mean they were "the best" team that year. It means they made it through the playoffs just as the "champion" is determined in most every other sport starting at age 6 or 7. To only have two… -
Re: Please report on Ebay
The counterfeiter used a real coin(s) to make false dies. His dies are not sharp as they lose the detail and sharpness in the process of making the fake dies. That's why his coins look MUSHY or FAT as you call it. bob -
Re: Is the mintmark on this 1916-S Indian $5 added or legit?
<< <i>Is the mintmark on this 1916-S Indian $5 added or legit? It couldn't be added. Added to what? They only struck $5 in San Francisco that year. There is a whole lot that doesn't look right with that coin. >> When the counterfeit reverse die was created, they used a genuine Philadelphia mint coin to cast the reverse die… -
Re: Should PCGS slab an obvious counterfeit coin such as...........
<< <i>Weiss---I have one of those Horseman "restrike" gold coins. They are neat but aren't true restrikes. I also have one of the Kellogg & Co $50 gold restrikes which were at least struck from transfer dies made from the original dies. >> "This coin was manufactured from privately made new dies which are considerably… -
Re: About those allegedly "Proof" Columbian half dollars...
RE: "Contrary to Roger's assertion, proofs could be struck on the production press. Those presses could be operated in a single-strike, manual mode. So, polished dies and polished planchet, deliberately specially struck equals proof. The type of press used is irrelevant." This is a false statement. Totally and completely… -
Re: Hypothetical: Is it unethical to solicit a kickback from a consignor?
<< <i>But, if the max bid isn't revealed, then the consignor would only be kicking back one-half a bid increment, right? Not necessarily. What if the bidding dies at 10K and it's just me and (hypothetically) Laura from 10K to 20K? >> I'm stupid when it comes to these schemes . . . is Laura playing the role of the other…
