what is the asking price, and where are they being sold? Looks too good to be true.

Well they posted new pics, but they're still very bad. They were asking $250 for the pair, but definitely too good to be true. This was posted on Craigslist. They posted pics of the obverse too, but they were even worse.  Edited by CherryPicker1

Pass on that. I can't tell anything from the pictures. If that's his best attempt it's likely fake and purposely giving bad pictures that mask it.

Some poor struck fakes, not convincing to me. Almost as good as the half soverign that came through the shop this week, that one looked like it was drawn by a 3 year old.

If those coins were as good as the seller wanted you to believe ,they would have been slabbed by PCGS or NGC . Run Forest Run !  |

Terrible fakes, reverse mintmark is a bad joke (should be sunken.)

My opinion is stick to dealers you trust for these coins in the grade you are looking for...or slabbed like what was previously mentioned.

Some general observations. Not all people selling rare coins on off venues are crooks. Not all people selling coins on off venues are coin people, having inherited; found at a yard sale, ect; coins of value. Meaning that they might not even know about grading services and if they do, might be leery of spending so much money ( and time) when they just want a quick profit. I'm not an expert on this series. But if I came across such a "deal" and asked for authentication, I would want more than just a "yes" or "no", unless it an IHC and Rick Snow was the one who said yay or nay. Only one person gave a reason why they thought it was fake and I'm not clear on their reasoning. And I've been at this since 1965. Those photos were very bad. My first thought was dipped. One coin I thought might have been AU because of color breaks indicating it MIGHT be wear. Again those pics were so bad, It was just a guess. The other one might have been a high AU or MS coin. Impossible to tell from those pics. |
