    Replica .... weight is off by 3 grams.

    I think I found it .... Peru: Felipe II cob 4 Reales Diego de la Torre

    A friend asked me to take a look at a coin she found that I haven't seen before. Can anyone identify this or point me in the right direction? (sorry if they pics are not in the correct position)
  4. Terence:)
    I have yet to get any better pics or see the Morgan in hand but the date is one of my concerns. A pic of the coin against a known graded coin:
  5. Terence:)
    Yup .... I told her if I had it in hand I could find out if it's real or a philly with an s applied or maybe a 98 with the eight changed to a three.
  6. Terence:)
    I did ... that's why I thought it wasn't legit.
  7. Terence:)
    The weight checks out at 26.7 and it is the right diameter ... my thought was a philly with an s applied

    Hey all, I have a friend who sent me these pics (yes I told her not to handle coins like this). At any rate my initial thought was counterfeit. Right off I didn't like the date or mint mark position. I am waiting for better photos so this is all I got from her .... opinions welcome And no she did not purchase the coin it was left to her.

    Thanks Greenstang, figured it was a long shot. The lighting was playing tricks on me again . It will stay in it's proof set holder
  10. Terence:)
    I think I'll just keep it in the holder
  11. Terence:)
    I was going through some proof sets I have and wasn't positive on this cent I have in a capital holder .Probably wishful thinking here for a possible ddo but still would like to run this by for any input.
  12. Terence:)
    Ageed, post it on Ebay raw and make 5 times your investment .... even better profit on the silver proofs from what I've seen.
  13. Terence:)
    Thank you .... my basic thoughts as well just looking for confirmation. Appreciate the extra look Coinbuf!
  14. Terence:)
    The corrosion on this 1814 crosslet 4 large cent is pretty evident but I do like the details of LIBERTY and the ear/hair visibility. That said is the corrosion so far gone that this coin loses it value as a potential vg-8 or better? Thanks for looking!
  15. Terence:)
    Thank you for the input!
  16. Terence:)
    Yup, that was my concern as well Bob. It definitely has a few dings but that one is the most evident.
  17. Terence:)
    Good day, looking for opinions on this Draped Bust small 6 - stemless half cent. Considering as a candidate for my next submission. I have this at perhaps a F-12 which would give me enough value to grade. Any input is appreciated. I included two different lighting aspects to show the details better. Thanks for looking!
  18. Terence:)
    That was my initial thought Greenstang but wasn't sure. On another subject this year does carry a pretty good premium for EF and better (my opinion is EF40 to AU50) but would the date depreciate the potential grade?
  19. Terence:)
    The date on this one is almost gone but the overall wear of this coin is minimal. Was there greased filled strikes at this time or maybe perhaps this was a weak strike on the date only?? On a side note .... I really like the condition of this coin! Thanks for looking
  20. Terence:)
    Thanks Bob .... seemed a bit fat in the middle to me so I couldn't decide
  21. Terence:)
    Good day everyone, I have a couple of nickels I am looking at. First up is this 1873 and would like an opinion on closed or open '3' on this Shield nickel. Thanks for looking
  22. Terence:)
    I am trying to determine if this is an actual 1883 that was gold plated to pass off as $5 ... or is it a replica. The sharp lines and condition make me suspicious but the wearing of the plating looks right.
  23. Terence:)
    Hey man, that is a good test tho!
  24. Terence:)
    Thanks .... at that price probably not silver then. Sure looks and feels like a bullion coin. The milk spots first got my attention they could be silver. Need to put on the scale when I get home.
  25. Terence:)
    Good day, I am trying to find out what year these two commemorative coins were struck and by what mint. Haven't had much luck with google searches. They are both stamped 'made in canada' on the edge. There is also a weak strike with the word 'casey' on the second coin.
