The 1921 half is a hole in my album

American and Canadian coins are still fairly easy to find in the UK if you know where to look and have a trap line. Some of the nicest pieces I have acquired for inventory have come out of the UK over the last thirty plus years. The reason is twofold ,one is the fact that there were two world wars that had a few million troops on UK soil and second the transatlantic trade route was very important in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

That 1917S was a tie clip or something ex-jewelry.

I'm suspicious of the 1921 quarter and half .... So am I. They both have marks that I don't normally see on coins, such as the heavy dies gouges on the 1921 Half reverse. |

Suspicious ... Quote:
What makes you think that? Initially, it's the listing. Why such low starting prices, and why not get such high grade coins certified? Compare the seller's 1921 half to another, known genuine, high grade piece ... Look at the differences in the letters and numerals ...     Some close-ups ... seller's first, certified second ...     Notice how crisply struck and rounded in appearance the numerals and letters are upon the seller's "coin." His 1921 "quarter" has a similar look. Furthermore, both pieces have a polished look about them. Anyone else care to chime in?  Edited by ExoGuy

Well I hadn't seen this latest information but I decided to have a look through this guy's feedback.
In the 'in the past year' bit where you can't see the details, he has sold one 1921 quarter and one 1921 half, funnily enough in adjoining sets of feedback to the same person for £346.00 and £746.89!
Must have a drawer full of them.
Bidders be very scared!

Bobby1313 .... Have you looked into this seller?
When I try to view this seller's other items for sale, I see none - 0. This happens regardless of which item I view; also, the seller's profile. Might the account have been hijacked?

Just so you guys know, both of the 1921 coins were genuine. Compare the marks to genuine NGC coins from Heritage Auctions. ExoGuy was comparing the coin to the wrong die pair. I bid on the half dollar, and got out bid because ebay.com didn't load my bid fast enough. Should have placed my £250 bid at 10 seconds instead of 20 seconds. Then I tried bidding £300 when the other bidder bid £250. But ebay didn't load fast enough to counter the other bidder's bid. A $2000 mistake. CRAP! The bad word filter would be having a field day if it knew what I was thinking right now. CRAP CRAP CRAP!! I'll eventually get over it, but this is so disappointing because I was so excited and so close to winning. CRAP! I have the worst luck when it comes to ebay... Edited by TypeCoin971793

You'd still be out of luck, TypeCoin, because I'd ask you for $100 since you got such a good deal.  |

Regardless, he doesn't "post" to the US. I love how the English say "post", sounds cute  |
