Just Bob reacted to Fenntucky Mike in It's Token Tuesday! Post 'em if you got 'em.
1893 Columbian Exposition,
Forgot I had tokens from this. Not my prime token interest but I like it.

Just Bob reacted to Henri Charriere in It's Token Tuesday! Post 'em if you got 'em.
One font used on one side; another used on the other. An absolutely gorgeous #5 and an ampersand written the way it was when it used to be the 27th letter of the alphabet. Great stuff, Just Bob!

Just Bob got a reaction from GoldFinger1969 in Mint Error News Magazine SPECIAL EDITION Now Online!
You picked up on that, did you? What gave me away?

Just Bob got a reaction from Modwriter in 2009-D Early Childhood Satin Finish Penny
The coin appears to have rub on the high points, and thus would be somewhere in the AU grade range. That makes it worth $0.01.

Just Bob reacted to Modwriter in no mint date! worths and raritys
Its a good thing. JustBob is going to heaven as the fifth Beatle.

Just Bob reacted to JKK in no mint date! worths and raritys
Yes. You will need to come up with a new handle, though, as "George, Paul, Ringo, John, and Justbob" lacks a certain je ne sais quoi.

Just Bob got a reaction from Modwriter in no mint date! worths and raritys
Welcome to the forum. The answer to your question depends on the denomination and year of the coin. Prior to 1980, coins minted at the mint in Philadelphia carried no mint mark. The only exception to this was the Jefferson nickels that were coined during WWll, and were made of a different composition than the previous and subsequent years. Between 1980 and 2017, Lincoln cents minted in Philadelphia also carried no mint mark.

Just Bob got a reaction from Woods020 in 1854 kellogg & Co double eagle
You can try to explain, reason, justify, and convince from now until doomsday, but it will never make this piece into something it is not.
I understand the need to feel as though you have found something special. And, once you have convinced yourself that your "coin" is a genuine rarity, it is almost impossible for your mind to be changed. But, several different knowledgeable people, (and a few actual experts, who have handled genuine examples of these), have informed you of what you really have.
Kellogg & Co. was a respected manufacturer - even receiving the endorsement of Augustus Humbert - and, I believe, would never have released a piece of this inferior quality. I can guarantee you that they would not have released a coin containing half the proper amount of gold, which, in another post, you said your coin has.
Carefully, and without bias, compare your piece with pictures of genuine pieces. Pay particular attention to the hair detail on the obverse. That, in itself, should be enough to convince you that this is not a real coin.
As for your dispute with PCGS, you need to pay them for their opinion and be done with it, in my opinion.

Just Bob reacted to RWB in Franklin proof
If the condition of any coin is influenced by the perceived market value of the coin, then there is a systemic bias and NO grade is trustworthy.
"Grades" must be determined empirically and no appearance opinion should be tolerated. Those things can be mentioned as observations.

Just Bob got a reaction from EdG_Ohio in It's Token Tuesday! Post 'em if you got 'em.
Back on page 4 of this thread, I posted a token by pharmacists Bearden & La Grone, and mentioned that there was another style token that was issued. I was watching one of those on Ebay at the time, but it was not in the best of condition, so I decided to pass. Shortly after that, another one showed up, and it was in a bit better condition, so I put in a bid and won.

Just Bob got a reaction from JT2 in LABORATORY FOR REAL GEM TEST
I am sorry, but your one-of-a-kind doubled die, small date, close AM, copper 1943 Continental Bust Dollar with special matte finish and extreme overdate is clearly a fake.
