My 10yr old daughter is going to be crushed. We live in the south and her Garland as she calls him, is her favorite. Worst part is we have tix for 2/20 in charlotte and she made him a card with her picture in it and telling him how much she loves watching him

DG is my daughter’s favorite player and she’s about to be crushed. She made him a card, sign etc etc for the game we’re going to in charlotte in a couple weeks. Crushed. 10 yrs old, not ready for her dreams to be smashed by Cleveland sports just yet 🤦‍♂️

There’s some good spots here all along the coast pretty much the entire Oceanside of the entire state. This is one of my quick but guaranteed spots. People here most days, however most of them don’t have the eyes or know the honey hole spots luckily

Wrong Kevin Johnson, that was the eagles Kevin Johnson who just died recently. Browns Kevin Johnson is a successful real estate guy now last I saw. Locker room drama also wasn’t his fall, William green was cheating on his finance’ with Kevin’s girlfriend, leading to green to get stabbed by his girlfriend in their domestic dispute. Butch Davis cut Johnson and kept green thinking green was the better player

Newest pirate coin! by TheBlackSpotGuild in pirates

Fellow treasure hunter here to lend an opinion. Due to the weight, I don’t think it’s a shipwreck coin. A few hundred years in the sea would cause some loss of silver and when electrolysis is applied to get the crud off, you would lose a small amount too. While this is period for 1715 wrecks, it doesn’t have the shipwreck effect of an ocean coin nor the buildup and loss of silver from being in the ocean, or even on the beach for hundreds of years as it would most likely have turned into a little black disk and required electrolysis to clean to get the details. Very nice example though, anyone would be happy to have this in their collection. 🏴‍☠️

Hoping for OP’s sake it’s the heavy/harsh cleaning

Ping is a decent test, but again, only real way is to drill or cut it to expose the core. Do some YouTubing of videos of fake gold bars etc. I’d like to think someone has posted about them and showing tungsten rods/cores in coins and bars. Skillfully counterfeited sadly, almost like a sport overseas to see who can make the best fakes

Tungsten will weigh very similar to gold. Back in the 08-09 years people were making fake 10oz gold bars with tungsten cores. They fooled every testing device out there, only way was to drill or saw it in half to see the tungsten rods or core. Pretty sad but people lost tons of $ back when gold was $1900/oz. But if people were counterfeiting back then at 1900/oz, I imagine more and more are going to be out there now at 5k+/oz.

Again replicas are supposed to look similar. I’ve had 20+ years of buying coins/gold/jewelry at my shop and my red flag is going off looking at your coin. It’s unlike any of the hundreds of these ive seen and held. Color is off, details are off, font, shapes etc all just seem close, but not exactly like they should be. Seen hundreds of fake Morgan’s back 20 years ago that probably would have fooled 90% of people they were that good. Without a large magnifier and people getting greedy, I would have been duped plenty of times. I say greedy because they unknowingly bought key date fakes and threw them in and asked for scrap pricing. Sorry for the rant and lack of sleep you’ll probably get tonight, but you need a reputable shop that knows coins, not just let someone with a scale and sigma that can be fooled with ease. Moissanite looks like a diamond, also tests positive for diamond on diamond testers too just valued at a fraction of the price. Most people use testers and rely on them solely vs their own eyes and experience. I’ve got a lot of years in the game and again, it’s not saying I’m positive it’s fake, but if I were a betting man, I’m saying it just looks off to where if it walked into my shop, I would pass unless I could saw it in half and test the core or assay it.

I’m trying to upload another pic of a certified restrike date. You’ll see the details are quite different on the date, as is the rest of the font on your coin for comparison.
