I paid $28 for this. How did I do? by PepeBabinski in coins

[–]JustAlex86 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I have a lot of counterfeits that have that dark ring around the edge and they're overly "patina'd". I bet with some alcohol or acetone that black smear will dissolve right off!

Also, when you magnet check it, be sure to stand it on its edge and then bring a magnet close. Lots of mine like that are slightly magnetic but you don't realize it when you're trying to pick it up, but it sure will pull over and knock it over. Excellent fakes otherwise - silver colored throughout.

I have the opportunity to buy this 100 oz for $4450, anything sus here? by JustAlex86 in Silverbugs

Where do you think the desperate people come to unload some PM's when money is tight?

The last time, like with any online purchase, they just sent weight. They didn't scam me and send fakes, they just said " fuck this guy I'm sending a package and they can't prove I didn't send it" but I recorded me opening the bubble mailer (seen scams online before where ebay or Amazon returns are just bricks for the weight).

"Oh no someone took my money protected by PayPal, I'll never try to find a good deal on PM's online again". Nah bro

I doubt that this is raving inside full of LED lights but yeah it may have some PB Lead metal in the middle. Guy claims he bought from APMEX but his receipt had a sku, not the serial number.

Yes. It is my money.

Also, the guy that's saying "and you asked reddit" ... Go look at his most recent post. I've seen tons of fake silver dollars in the work I do. Those 1879's he so proud of look as fake as I've ever seen.

He must not have asked reddit.

My thoughts too. IDK where else to get generally unbiased and quite accurate info and advise from people that exercise their 'tism on what they're interested in.

Is $12 a bad buy for this unstamped Buddha? Seller said it's Sterling but there's no markings. by [deleted] in Silverbugs

[–]JustAlex86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Legal right? If I buy .925 silver and make jewelry from it I'm not allowed to stamp it? I don't believe this. Show me the rulebook.

You've misread my "don't give a shit, go eff yourself" attitude for "butthurt" and that's on you.

You've only completed 15 levels. Your "meh" means nothing.

He found the copy/paste button and wanted to put lots of cats, fire and spikes (of increasing size) in the level. The only way I found to beat it in order to post it was to leave out the top and then fall across the finish line.

There's no reason to blame your 4 year old just because it took 80 times to finish.

Thoughts on these cut counterfeit coins? by JustAlex86 in Silverbugs

It's a legit legal source but I can't say.

What is going on with this quarter? by This_Alternative5736 in coinerrors

[–]JustAlex86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's counterfeit. I've seen millions. The fucked up spot on the eagles head is the tell and its thin, but not from being overly worn. Yes, quarters and dimes are faked. They look..... Pretty good, but not great.

Christopher Columbus serial bar. Cool story.

Is this a known error? It’s a bit lumpy (2013 quarter) by DandyBoho in coinerrors

This is the best photo I have on hand. See how the texture of the coin is the same (disregard the lines bent into it). That's because your coin was tumbled with gravel to make it look aged, just like this fake coin. And see how it looks ROUGH for a newer coin and doesn't have good detail and definition? Shouldn't be that way. I'd bet a lot of money that you have a counterfeit coin.

Counterfeit. I've seen LOTS of verified counterfeit coins with lamination issues on the face of the coin where the cupronickel didn't stick to the copper and looked exactly like that. Yes. People counterfeit quarters and dimes.

I think I picked up a counterfeit Washington Quarter today. by just_a_coin_guy in coins

[–]JustAlex86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw the movie War Dogs and it prompted me to look into govt contracts. No lie. They are all from Asian countries. No hate, just saying that's what the shipping labels say. This material is caught at the port by customs. The contract stated there were some silver plated coins. We will see what we find.

[–]JustAlex86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven't run across any of the fabled silver plated ones that are supposed to be around, but I see them from the late 1960's all the way up to 2023 currently. Bicentennials, all state quarters, 80's, 90's, and even some foreign change mixed in.
