Is that corrosion or a bad casting job counterfeit?

agree with vf details corroded and cleaned. Normally a coin graded with this designation sells for $60. But this one is so far gone, I think it is worth about half that.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I have seen coins like this sell for $30 or so, and I can never understand why.

VF details, but badly pitted and corroded plus cleaned. And yes, "genuine" always has to run through you mind these days. One of the Chinese tricks to to clean and damage their products in an effort to make it easier for them to pass as genuine. The Gray Sheet says an 1908-S Indian cent in Good is worth $80. WOW! That's hard to believe, especially when a VF is only $55 more. I guess if the $80 number has any validity, the $30 price is not off the wall, but I'd never pay it. |
