Re: "Extraordinary Denomination Coin Collection"

Could we get the dates and Mint Marks (If any) The 20 cent looks cleaned and will devalue the coin. I have never seen this "set" before. My opinion is that selling the coins one at a time without the folder will net you more money.

My 2 Cents, VPR

I'll See What I Can do

He wouldn't be able to Do Conditions unless Marked.
He's not a collector.

non of these would have Mint Marks
unless the 20 cent is 1875 cc

Yes I am aware

& The Certificate of Authenticity leaves alot to Question.

"Private Release" ?

"Release was Conducted in full accordance with established
guidelines and practices"

But Release of Authentic coins by a Collector or Release of
Authentic Copies ?

Re: "Extraordinary Denomination Coin Collection"

the Dates; if Real :
2 sets :


3 Cents 1866
Half cent- 1835
2 cent 1864
20 cent 1875-S

Set 2 half cent-1829
3 cent- 1866
2 cent- 1868
20 cent- 1875 cc



So I'd Guess real because of Condition of some

Re: "Extraordinary Denomination Coin Collection"

In their Certificate of Authentication I read nothing about the coins being authentic versus replicas.
The wording is couched so that it's impossible to discern 'the wheat from the chaff'. If replicas, they must conform to the Hobby Protection Act; the main requirement is the word COPY need be incursed into the replica. Note also that a 'worn' item could have been produced (yesterday) that way; copied from another 'worn' "original".

Re: "Extraordinary Denomination Coin Collection"

he says the word replica or copy
are no where in the paperwork
or on the coins.

I Figure if they were going to Run off a Bunch
they would all be Identicle though.


unless they used several Dies.

I Have warned him of Washington mint's reputation
and legal problems though

he was given a large collection to sell on ebay
alot of the more valuable are graded
so i believe this was from a knowledgable collector.
of course if they were gifts maybe from
a spouse or somone who thought
they were real ? the collector
may have had them anyway

Re: "Extraordinary Denomination Coin Collection"

The 20c looks cleaned, and the Half Cent looks cruddy, or perhaps dug and polished decades ago. Heck, there is something that even bothers me about the 3c nickel's color. And if that 2c is shiny like it appears, it may have been a cleaned coin years ago as well. Beside those others, it looks suspicious too (in other words). The 20c is the most valuable coin in the lot most likely--and I would look at it very closely, since modern copies of that coin are known.


Best Wishes,



Buckles

Re: "Extraordinary Denomination Coin Collection"

You might suggest to your nephew that he call this 'mint' and ask them, "Are these items real or replicas?" If the response is 'real', ask for a Letter of Authenticity. If they say they are replicas, ask how do they then comply with the Hobby Protection Act without the word COPY on each piece?

Re: "Extraordinary Denomination Coin Collection"

Re: "Extraordinary Denomination Coin Collection"

Take a magnet and hold it above the coins one at a time.
If it picks up, or moves the coin. Then you can pretty much
say they are "copy" coins.
