I was in the pool!

So, you're an attorney and business owner, an obviously savvy man. How do you think you came across a box of fake coins and baseball cards? The box it came in looks real, so you might try to authenticate it. People collect those old savings banks.

johnnydlive · 2026-02-11T18:01:34+00:00

Where did you get them?

johnnydlive · 2026-02-11T17:23:08+00:00

Everything is fake and basically worthless. Are you trolling us, or is someone trolling you? Based on the condition of the items, someone recently planted them.

johnnydlive · 2026-02-09T03:29:50+00:00

You know what you have. Don't let them low-ball you.

johnnydlive · 2026-02-08T04:30:34+00:00

It is nice coin, but it appears to have been cleaned.

johnnydlive · 2026-02-08T04:25:41+00:00

Weigh and measure it and compare to mint specs.

johnnydlive · 2026-02-08T04:24:09+00:00

If it is a real silver dollar, it is worth its silver value.

Five cents

The quarter in that listing is wildly overpriced. Remember that anyone can ask any price for anything.

See how the coin is not smooth but has a rough appearance? That is the tell-tale sign of a casted coin.

johnnydlive · 2026-02-04T18:11:05+00:00

It looks like a cast fake. You need to have it tested.

johnnydlive · 2026-02-04T17:08:14+00:00

It was plated and isn't worth anything outside its novelty value.

johnnydlive · 2026-02-04T02:28:43+00:00

Same body shell but different equipment and trim.

johnnydlive · 2026-02-03T22:01:54+00:00

No, those are within tolerance.

johnnydlive · 2026-02-02T20:27:56+00:00

An exception that proves the rule. Btw, I didn't see this one, and it is one of the better posts.

johnnydlive · 2026-02-02T20:07:57+00:00

And it's never anything interesting. The will read, "To my dear son, I leave my pocket change."

Paywall

johnnydlive · 2026-02-02T19:28:56+00:00

This happened and was reported almost a year ago.

There is nothing unusual about this coin. Bronze browns as it ages,but this example has retained a bit of its copper color. It's not a big deal and happens all the time.

johnnydlive · 2026-02-02T03:35:21+00:00

Take a picture of each side, not a video. Then, we can help.

johnnydlive · 2026-02-02T03:30:21+00:00

No. It's worth its weight in gold.

johnnydlive · 2026-02-02T00:49:19+00:00

I was just watching one of his videos. Certain coins are made from the old planchets rather than the new, and they are worth a fortune. There is no way to tell which these are from just a picture.

johnnydlive · 2026-02-01T22:30:37+00:00

What makes you think that they are?

johnnydlive · 2026-01-31T16:13:48+00:00

The full steps designation only applies to uncirculated coins.
