silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3733 Posts	Posted 07/24/2019 9:01 pm is it in a third party holder, or a generic one. It is an extremely rare coin, with only a handful being known to exist, buyer beware. Odds are against it being real.. Report this Post to the Staff

Nor would I. Quote: is it in a third party holder It's NGC graded at F 12 BN NGC's photography has come a long way since 2011 - these NGC images are awful and I needed to boost gamma and contrast to see anything. I looked at that for a while and eventually decided it's a case worthy of CCF scrutiny. It has London reverse & Indian obverse. It's on ebay now and easy to find. I won't put it's NGC no. here - but that can be found at ebay too. An interesting case .. Trivia: Some may not know that the NGC copper guarantee expires at 10 years. On February 3rd 2021 - that is no longer a graded coin. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12441 Posts	Posted 07/25/2019 02:08 am I can't say one way or the other, because I hope I could trust NGC, but I'm no expert on these by any means. However, I can't figure why you don't want to share more specific info about this coin. The ebay listing has many more pictures. Here's the ebay listing: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1930-Au...AOSwokVdDs7V Here's the corresponding NGC Verify page (with horrible pics): https://www.NGCcoin.com/certlookup/3313279-006/12/ As a side note, here is another one currently listed on ebay: 273918839623 In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Report this Post to the Staff

I'm not certain it's bad - and I don't want to mess up his sale. The current market is no good for sellers unless the coin is either very special or very cheap. Rare as that penny may be, one with the desire and wallet could buy one every day of the week. The 1931 dropped 1 Indian penny is also easy to find at present and far more rare than the 1930 penny. Both PCGS and NGC have made serious mistakes, there is no doubt there. I hope it is real for the sellers sake - he probably has a lot invested. In 19 months that coin needs to be resubmitted as copper coin gradings by NGC are only good for 10 years. Hundreds of thousands of fake 1930 pennies exist and they range from obvious rubbish to spectacular. Nobody with common sense will spend that much without looking at it in hand closely. I don't like the '0' but maybe it's just a bad photo.. Report this Post to the Staff
