AgHoarder Pillar of the Community Canada 818 Posts	Posted 04/26/2015 2:32 pm I'm looking at the leaves R1 and L1 and see that the stem is not connected http://www.ebay.com/itm/1872-25-Cen...em3aa705b09c Report this Post to the Staff

This seller is in Toronto! ugh! not even china! Edited by AgCoinAu 04/26/2015 2:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff
AgCoinAu Pillar of the Community Canada 3049 Posts	Posted 04/26/2015 2:44 pm On another note... is there any way we can "block" sellers.... I would rather block a seller so I never look at any of their listings ever again Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 04/26/2015 2:47 pm Not fake, a genuine coin. Due to a lack of proofreading and editing the current edition of Charltons would have you believe that the missing stems is a marker for counterfeit 25cents. Not so for 1872-1880, the missing stems are found on many 1872 and 1874, as well as on all 1875 and 1880 genuine coins. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
AgHoarder Pillar of the Community Canada 818 Posts	Posted 04/26/2015 2:49 pm the reason I noticed was because an 1872 25 cents in another lot I was bidding on looked funny. I looked in the section in the Charlton regarding fakes and sure enough, it was. It was also missing the stems on L1 and R1. I searched other 1872s on ebay and this popped up.

AgHoarder Pillar of the Community Canada 818 Posts	Posted 04/26/2015 3:00 pm the Charlton also describes a large low 2 which this coin also has. Report this Post to the Staff
AgCoinAu Pillar of the Community Canada 3049 Posts	Posted 04/26/2015 6:15 pm Hopefully MM will chime in on this one.. cause now I'm also confused. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsguy Pillar of the Community Canada 2301 Posts	Posted 04/26/2015 9:09 pm Coin is real. Charleton's made a mistake. I will post good markers shortly. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsguy Pillar of the Community Canada 2301 Posts	Posted 04/26/2015 9:11 pm These markers are for the HK Replica 1872 25 cent piece. Edited by nickelsguy 04/26/2015 9:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
AgHoarder Pillar of the Community Canada 818 Posts	Posted 04/26/2015 9:57 pm Thanks Mike for putting this to bed. Your work is invaluable to our hobby and I appreciate you putting the time in to post. It's amazing Charlton's would print this information without absolute certainty in their data. So does this hold true for all 25 cent pieces listed in the Charlton? Are the missing stems a bad marker? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 04/26/2015 11:53 pm Quote: Are the missing stems a bad marker? Missing stems can simply be from worn over polished die's not to mention grease filled, so thats not accurate as a marker. The pics MM posted are the markers to look for along with that grainy surface. IMO Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsguy Pillar of the Community Canada 2301 Posts	Posted 04/27/2015 2:47 pm I am unsure as to why my markers were not used as created. I chose obverse markers which appear on the entire effigy run and can not be confused by differing portraits of the effigy run. (make sense?) lol Report this Post to the Staff
