I would expect to see a challenge and then a settlement, Just like the 1933 Gaudens,, Uncle is a reasonable person and willing to make things ok, after all!! The coin will be made legitimate!! it wont be cheap !!! but it will happen!! Rick

Hi Everyone I got Four really nice Proof cents ,, Nothing Like a Lincoln to start the Day !!! Rick

1960 small date lincoln,4- 1 dollar star notes, and a 2 dollar 1978 series star note, all from the waitress connection at the truck stop. Rick

I got this !!! Rick

Sir Sisu No soldiering, the silver color is where the copper layer has broken I suspect when struck and the zinc core is showing thru . I still have not figured out this cent!! Rick

Which TPG , both the same ? different? I agree with Stu, the difference to most would not be able to be seen !! Rick

My collection has a large percentage of circulated coins, But I do add BU coins whenever the opportunity and funds come together. Rick

Hi Tiff That 1858 nickel is going to be a tough one !! Rick I think your into half dimes there ;-))

16-D what a crock !!!I would more than glad to help !! Rick

My thoughts also, Posts what you need in buy or trade areas, Rick

Hmmm if the 42 was struck over the 43 then it is a genuine 43 copper cent ? that would defeat the purpose of a fake !! Rick

Hello If you have any proof lincolns laying around from broken sets, Im Interested !! Let me know what you have and what you will take for them. Rick

I have a few toners, but nothing that can compare with these, Absolutely beautiful !!! Rick

Hi Tiffibunny Bluebook dealer buy prices total right at 200.00 for all of the sets !! Im not sure what you mean by wholesale ,but perhaps 10 to 15% over this would come close to wholesale . Rick

Im not sure how other government mints work, but here is a link that provides mint info for many different countries. http://www.coin-currency.com/portugese.html Dont pay any attention to the fact that the portugese mint is in the link, that just happens to be the one I was looking at when I saved the link. Rick

Hi coinjoe sounds like a good deal !!! Let us know how it all works out ,and a pic or two is always good !! Rick

Geeze and here it is the weekend and I was doing my best to stay unfocused!! I guess generalist would apply, even though I specialise in Mercs and small cents, I also have a birth year type set underway for myself and My bride,, But I also collect or horad other coins , some for trade ,sale and some just because I think they are cool, Like my proof frankies!! I try to keep or have many different coins to help out my buddies online if I know what they want, I also have a few trading partners that i have developed over the last few years, keeps the stuff changing a little all the time Rick

Absolutely both for me, I think its the challenge to put togther a complete set by date and MM but I want at least one example of everything !! Rick

The photo Im looking at looks like the area in question is raised ?? does it look incused to you ? Rick

Die cracks generally dont add very much value , we would need to see the whole coin obverse and reverse to give a guess at value . Rick

This is my opinion also , except for the error part, I do not consider these to be errors, The ones with open holes are the result of the tops of these bubbles breaking away. Rick

Yes they are the same size on the small side of the taper, but slightly bigger on to the outside of the taper on the thick cent . Sorry I mis understood what you were asking !! Rick

The picture in the original post shows the cent alongside a regular normal cent. Rick
