Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 09/12/2013 6:46 pm Unfortunately, that's one of the problems with poor pictures on an online auction. Sometimes it works out with a nice coin, but sometimes the seller is hiding things. I think we know what was going on here. Good luck with your return! Report this Post to the Staff
FadeToBlack Pillar of the Community 1751 Posts	Posted 09/12/2013 6:50 pm The seller doesn't really deal in coins, he said this came with a box of cards he bought, so my guess is he's being honest. He did say he has a bunch of other stuff he's going to send to me to have me look at, so we'll see if there's anything good in there, I guess... Report this Post to the Staff
yhbearcats Pillar of the Community United States 688 Posts	Posted 09/12/2013 7:54 pm The "CC" Mint mark is way off. Strange that the mint mark is very clear but all the details and letters around it are worn. Also, the shape of the "CC" doesn't match what it looks like on a real Twenty Cent Piece.

thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 09/12/2013 10:19 pm I used to cast lead soldiers and this coin has the same look. Greer has a nice xf to compare with. http://briangreerrarecoins.com/inventory.html?c=30 The weight is atrociously low for a VF-XF. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."
