Ebay used to take care of these things. I see new sellers popping up all the time using this scam. Ebay is turning into the new Etsy.

At first I thought they looked like Gallery Mint uniface copies. But now I think they are presentation pieces from a generic replica rarity coin set. The bubbly and rough surface make me think they are silver plated base metal.

Regardless how accurate this assessment is, they are not from the U.S. Mint.

I think MS-64 is both a safe and healthy guess considering these are the only photos.

Held this one in hand.... and forgot the grade. It was certainly deserving of mint state and far superior than many other 96 dimes available today.

MS-63 is my guess.

Yes, the market for CAC coins is exploding right now. Many green beans are selling for gold bean prices.

Wow, surprised the previous owner didn't send it into CAC first before selling.

Maybe he did...

I will take a different outlook and say it is toning or a black dirt smudge on the mintmark. Not damage.

I think MS-63 is fair. I don't see anything remotely close to detailing this coin. $2 is highway robbery, you should track down the seller and give him a few more dollars

Looks great in the album!

Liberty Nickel 1883 No Cents Die Cracks, Cud? Something Else Or Nothing?

This first year type is notorious for achieving many die cracks and pre cuds. An example with a cud would be interesting enough to purchase.

I have way to many of these 1883 No Cents, some with die cracks but no RPM's.

There are no RPMs on 1883 nickels because they don't come with mintmarks.

Just had a chance to look at it. First impression was 62-63 because of the clean, mark-free appearance but the dulled luster. Would have settled with 63. 62 is still a good grade.

That price certainly feels high. The rarity of the variety in my opinion is close to irrelevant as there are just a handful of collectors that assemble this set by die variety. I would expect a decline in price if it was sold again today.

The same coin sold for a million in 2015 as part of the Pogue collection.

Another MS-63 sold for $630,000 in 2019.

Lower obverse is dark to see the contact marks in that region, but I will say 65 strong shot at 66 considering it is an 81-S in an NGC holder.

VF, I would risk only paying cleaned money. Photos are touched up and the lighting could be intentionally concealing reflective and semi-polished surfaces.

It is definitely PMD, confirmed by the displaced metal around the trench. Disappointing especially since the surfaces are choice otherwise.

It looks to be a lovely MS-63 to me. I say certainly genuine and certainly uncirculated, no doubt about it. Color looks good. Worst case it gets an MS-62.

That's a good score, congrats!

Post some photos of your coins and we'll tell ya real quick if they are real or not. Much easier than buying a bunch of equipment and watching how-to youtube videos.

If the coin is worth about $20 without the off center, do you think it is worth an extra $405?

My personal opinion who collects early mint errors, the off center is not significant and the coin is in not great condition. Maybe worth $100 in my eyes to the right person. Nevertheless, any degree of off centering is very uncommon on FEC.
