GC is the eBay seller with the attractive photo, dark background? Good to know, from their sold prices I can see that they accept many offers. HC is listed as HC on eBay?

Be very wary of ebay sellers claiming "estate sale find" etc.

Welcome to the forum.

Good looking coin you found! Post some nice close-ups if you can.

Checking the last 4 sales on Heritage auctions, I came up with:

2/1/15, NGC MS62, $285.50

6/6/10, NGC MS62, $322.00 - NGC MS62, $460.00 - NGC MS63, $402.50

The only AU53 that I found was back on 2/7/2010 that sold for $253.00.

According to Ebay sold listings, your coin was sold yesterday (6/29/22 at 1:27 PM) for $499. plus shipping.

I would like to know what this dealer saw to determine this coin was counterfeit.

you can join PCGS and you would get up to 8 submissions for free,

I wonder what would happen if you went on the PCGS site and suggested a member join NGC.

Bad form, dude. 

Welcome to the forum.

I am curious to know what you think (or have been led to believe) that these coins might be worth, and why. These are quite common, and, as Coinbuf said, not even worth the cost of shipping unless in very high grades.

There is a lot more to a coin's value than age and "shininess." And, if you are getting your information off youtube, I suggest you stop trying to buy or sell until you have gotten all of that nonsense out of your head, and picked up some truth, either from books like the Redbook, (A Guide Book of United States Coins, by R.S Yeoman) or other sources of legitimate coin info. In addition, we are happy to help you learn, if you are willing.

Edit:  I forgot about the 1970s small date. If you have one of those in really good shape, you might could get 10 bucks for it.

Welcome to the forum.

You may want to try setting your phone on something stable and using the timer. That could help with any blurriness that might be caused by movement. Even your heartbeat can cause a slight tremor.

The cropping was a good idea, though.

What is your opinion of this video on removing copper spots with an eraser?  I’m completely ignorant on the subject.  

 

I suggest staying away from youtube when looking for advice on coins. Most of the videos posted on there are full of half-truths and lies. They are only designed to get views.

I have one too and assume its a fake as well. 

Thanks

 

 

Unfortunately, it is a fake. It appears to have been cast in a mold. Or, if it was made in Britain, it was cast in a mould.

Yes, I do.

...I was under the impression that by the time a CUD has developed to this size there are signs of it elsewhere on the Coin as well. Whether the Break is visible or a major depression somewhere else on the Coin. I guess that's not correct since I don't see anything abnormal on your Coin except for the CUD itself....

It actually looks like the cud interferred with the lettering on Cent on the reverse. Nice cud!

Bobby is right. The first place I looked to see if it really was a cud was on the lower reverse, opposite the cud. And, there it was: a weak "CENT.".

OP, please don't give this coin some cutsie name, like "LOAF OF BREAD ON LINCOLN'S HEAD, " or "CLUB-HEAD CENT."

Welcome to the forum.

All three coins shown are large date examples.

... when I scrubbed poor little coin half to death. 

I may have misunderstood the question.

If you are asking why the Mint did not include the silver coins with the clad, then my (somewhat cynical) response would be that they thought they could make more money by requiring the collector to purchase two different sets in order to have an example of every business strike coin.

If you are asking why NGC has different sets, I assume it is to enable collectors to participate in the Registry who do not want to have to buy both sets.

Sure. They are all over 50 years old, and a part of history. Some future Young Numismatist in your family would love to have them.

There was a three-coin silver mint set issued, as well as a silver proof set.

Looks like it may have been in the ground for a while.

It appears that you have stumbled on a source for counterfeit coins. You should buy your coins elsewhere.

Yours is a fake - probably of recent Chinese manufacture. They are available for $1.68 US plus shipping.

That is sad, too. I hate that the Chinese have started faking Conder tokens. Those people have absolutely no scruples. They do not care how their actions affect other people, as long as they get what they want. That is what happens when you have an entire race or country of people with no moral compass. It is quickly spreading across America, as well. That is even sadder.

Well done!

Can you show a clear picture of the edge, please?
