Out of curiosity I just read EBay's policy on posting replica coins and it clearly states it's not allowed. However, I then searched "replica coins" and found this heading: "494 results for replica coins". I guess having laws on the books that are not enforced happens in a lot of places.

Ebay rules aren't fairly applied though. I once listed a vintage necklace that had a small ivory center. Since it was old and the ivory was the size of a pea it didn't occur to me that it would be forbidden. I was threatened with lifetime banishment even though there were dozens of other pieces clearly listed as ivory that were never removed. EBay has a lot to clean up on their site.

At least they're listed as replicas and not being passed off as genuine like some others. Maybe some educational use?

Of course, no telling what unscrupulous resellers might do. So, as always, buyer beware. They really should have to have an obvious replica marker of some kind.

Thinking of the journey through time that coin has made and imagining those who have possessed it is awe inspiring.

Congratulations on checking off that box.

New Question About 1964 Kennedy Lamination / Foil

I'm embarrassed to say I didn't look carefully at the edge until trying to get a better photo.

Is it possible for material to ooze over the side between the reeds? There is definitely something there that makes them not sharp and separated at the top.

Thanks for looking again.

This is an addendum to a previous post. I was going to add a photo showing a different angle of the foil/lamination. I made another post because this looks different to me now.

What I see looks to me like extra material flowing off the rim onto the edge. It's only in the one area, the rest of the edge/reeds seems sharp and defined. Does this often happen?

Is this material the cause of the original piece that shows on the surface of the coin? Would this be something other than a lamination?

Thanks!

I'm not sure what to call this.
On the rim between the B + E, there's a very thin piece raised above the surface. It's maybe 1/4 inch across, seems attached to the rim area, and you can see the shadow under the raised part.

While we're here, I'd appreciate it if you could give an opinion on a grade.

Thanks!

" I like it because it looks antiquish and could have been held by some of the people who founded America. "

I was passed down a couple of Colonial Era coins which are in poor condition and I feel the same way about them. It's amazing to think of their journey.

Thanks. I do see the area near the rim now. I wish I had started learning this 40 years ago when I still had more active brain cells
So nice to have a place to come for good info.

When I first saw this I thought of a die chip. What indicates that it's a lamination?
