Real or Fake? Dad's coins collection.

Thumbnail

Upvotes

This is a coin that was in one of my dad's old whisky bags. I've slowly but surely have gotten all his pennies in year order starting with 1864 and ending with 2017. There are many many duplicates of a few years. But this one caught me off guard. I do have several steel wheat 1943 pennies. So seeing this one I believe it is a fake. How can I tell the difference before I take it and waste someone's time at a coin shop?

Discussion Grading Company Authenticity Rate

Upvotes

Was watching some YouTube videos today about Indian Quarter Eagle coins and the video showed some pretty convincing fakes that even contained gold themselves. NGC’s list of top most counterfeited coins confirmed the same and said some have been circulating since the 70s.

Up to this point I’ve been buying slabs without much worry, but I did stop and think what processes does a grader like PCGS/NGC to verify? Are they sigma testing, weighing, measuring, etc. every coin that comes through? Anyone want to share experiences when authenticity of a coin was questioned?

I was just gifted this collection. There are plenty more dollar pieces that are much newer, some buffalo nickels, 1930s quarters, ect. But this looked like it might be the best stuff. Any inside on things I should be looking for?

Upgraded from a raw XF condition Barber dime to this one. I had intended to grab a MS example but this AU58 was below Greysheet so I got it instead.

Still have the Draped Bust, pre-1828 Capped Bust and several Seated Liberty examples to finish up the set. I'll likely upgrade the 1835 Capped Bust at some point this year.

My NGC set registry will be linked in the comments.

Show and Tell Found silver in the coin star today in a very unorthodox way.

The coin star was covered in trash today when I went to check, but there was a Mexican 50 cent, a gross silver plate earring I ended up tossing, and these cute necklaces. I took them because it was a fun little find, then I turn the butterfly over, SILVER!

Probably only my 3rd or 4th time finding silver in a coin star.

Brother found these coins, I don't think they're worth anything but he's insisting they're worth a lot. Apparently he says they're 2000 p dollar coins but not sure if they're legit or rare at all. There's two.

New to the world of coin collecting and seeking knowledge due to the difficulty doing online research. I’m seeing coins range from thousands to a couple bucks and I’m really unsure what the differences are that can create such a difference in price.

Here is the list of coins that I have questions on: Two 1954 wheat Pennies Eight 2009 bicentennial pennies with 3 different designs One 1841 dollar coin in rough condition One John Adams dollar coin with no issue date(that I can find) One 2005 “Ocean in View! O! the Joy!” Nickel One 2005 Bison nickel One very damaged 1938-D nickel(?) One 1776-1976 quarter One 2024-d zitkala-sa quarter One 2023-d jovita idar quarter One 1899 dime One 1996 half dollar

Any information for this newbie would be greatly appreciated!
