Just had a coin that I sold to someone come up fake. Im giving them a return and am trying to make it right. Its literally the only coin I didnt get to scan with an xrf. The weight was right and the ping passed. But that makes me look like crap. Now im trying to find who sold it to me. I absolutely hate when people do this. I had posted a picture of the coin on reddit as well it was one of thr best fakes I've seen. My customer sent me a picture of it on a scan so I know for a fact he is telling the truth. It just completely ruins a person's word. Ill never sell something with just checking the weight and ping again. It was and 1892 cc sold it for 280. Im considering sending him a free morgan that I have graded and is guaranteed. Just had to vent this. Please peeps if you have a coin and its confirmed fake make that thing or destroy it.

worth anything ?

I thought it felt a bit light.... Seems I'm finding more fakes more recently than I have in the past. Watch yourselves.

which coin design is your favorite? (Reminder: they're from the Hellaverse)

Forgive me for turning the first post on our new account into a bragging opportunity :P

Thanks!

A coin can look great in hand, then you take a phone photo and suddenly every little mark is the main attraction. Or the opposite happens: the lighting hides half the marks and makes it look much nicer than it really is.

Toning seems especially hard to capture. Move the light a little and the colors either disappear or look completely different.

The goal wouldn’t even be a fancy photo. Just something you could show another collector and say, “Yep, that’s pretty much how it actually looks.”

What’s one small change that improved your coin photos? Different lighting, moving the phone farther away, a different background? Curious what works without buying a whole photography setup.

Are Thaler restrikes a waste of time/money?

And if they're not are the ones with a restrike date more valuable?

I know there are a lot of 'restrike 1974s out there.

If you get a restrike coin graded can they determine what year it was done?

What yall think?

I've had these for so long. One has a picture of Guru Nanak and the other of Hanuman.

Anyone familiar with this type of quarter 🤔 first time seeing this.

Mom found this coin in the road and picked it up thinking it was a US quarter. I saw the ridge was not a US quarter and I just had to find out what it was. The lighting let me see a few letters, and I could barely make out "TWENTY FIVE CENTS" and "STATES". I did a bit of digging and actually found it. It's the East Caribbean 25 cent coin. Mind you, we are in rural PA, so why it was way out here, I have no idea.

Non members can now send coins in, this perfect for those that just want to send one or two in, still will be cheaper if you are member but this is good thing for the hobby

I found this tiny gold-coloured coin in my grandfather’s old wallet. It features Queen Victoria on one side and a horseman on the other. Someone called it “Victoria Digi.”

I tested it is gold...

Is this genuine gold? How old is it, and could it be valuable? Any coin experts who can help identify it? 👀

i inherited this from a family member and a friend of mine told me it looked possibly polished. I don’t know enough about coins to know if it is

Is this 1963 dime worth keeping? Is there any value in this coin?

One of my very favorite medals fresh back from grading. Betts-568 (Original dies).

I can't find any errors on the Internet where JV was on neck

I bought an 1822 George IV Crown with the TERTIO edge inscription. It's in Fine condition but weighs only 27.165 g, compared with the standard 28.28 g.

Numista: https://en.numista.com/13181

Is this weight plausible for a genuine coin with this level of wear, or should I be concerned about a counterfeit?

If it turns out to be fake or misrepresented, I'll leave the seller a negative review with the evidence. I'd like to get your opinions before jumping to conclusions.

Thanks!

Worth anything?
