They probably laughing about it like us. Lol. I think it goes even bigger than the OP is claiming. I think it also involves the CIA and aliens.

I think he was being sarcastic. Hope so anyways.

That's just what they want you to think.

I'd love it down there. My kind of place. All kinds of critters to catch too

Cool find my friend if it is a lamentation error. I'm not real sure of the values on pennies. I haven't dealt with them much financially.

I'm not real sure on pennies. That kinda looks like it may be a lamitation error. Some more knowledgeable will be on soon to let u know.

Thank you my friend. Hopefully sometime soon. If I can get to where I can afford to

It's a conspiracy.

I just hope NGC don't go after my Washington collection next.

I've heard it all now. How can they be corrupt. When they grade the coins they don't know whose they are grading. They go in the grading room unlabeled so they won't show favoritism to one collector or another. And it is several of them. I could understand if it just one or two men deciding it wasn't genuine it may be a mistake. But when they all say it's not genuine then more than likely it's not. What I researched shows that's a coin that's highly counterfeited.

I may try to look into one of those @ldhair showed me. Would love to get a high quality one. This one I bought tho was very surprising. I will see how it does when it gets a little age on it. But I was very impressed. I never dreamed it would be in such good focus and show up so good. Usually I have to take them and wave them around all over the place to get them focused in to examine the coin. That one I just have to look through it whether the coin is an inch away or 4 inches away.

I always wanted to go to Alabama to see Hank Williams grave site. Pay my respects to one of my favorite singers.

Happy you got settled in good my friend. If you find and good catfish holes down in that country give me a holler. I've always wanted to go down south and hook into a big southern flathead @Sharann is supposed to show me a good spot down in Mississippi country if I ever make it down in that country one of these days.

You nailed that one on the head.

Dude was a little harsh. Bashing NGC for calling his counterfeit coins counterfeit.

I usually don't need a low powered loupe very much yet. These $6000 eyes work good. After I had that eye surgery I can see very good. Took me a while to pay them off. I'm glad they didn't come repo them. Ever since I had Lasik surgery I can see very good. Got eyes like a hawk. When I get a little older they may start to go down hill and I may need a low powered loupe. I got amazing eye sight for now though.

After @RWB posted those side by sides it only took me 20 seconds to spot the difference.

It's got beautiful luster to it.

She's a beautiful coin my friend. Nice find.

I can see a tremendous difference in it and the authentic one without having to take it to an expert. Some crook got him on it. I feel bad for him. Sad all these crooks out there trying to rip a person off on every corner. Then out all the money sending them in. That is awful. Just an expensive lesson if you gonna buy very expensive coins to compare them very carefully to genuine examples. I spotted about 30 differences between the 2 coins above. The blobs are mostly all longer and larger on the counterfeit. And smaller on the authentic example. The longer you sit and look at it the more you can spot. My feelings go out to the guy. I'd be very mad. I'd go get my money back off the person who sold them to me. I'm mad they done him that way. I'm fed up with these crooks myself.

On the left side of the coin. The dragons other hand is touching one of the blobs. And look how far away it is on the other coin. The 2 blobs are bout touching on one coin in that same spot.

Don't know what kind of content I hid in the post above. My fat fingers hitting buttons. Don't know what I did. But theres differences in the spikes on the dragons to. Some are pointy on one and the same ones round on the other. And vice versa. Some of the blobs are bigger on one than the other. There are several if you look at it long enough. I'd find the person who sold them to me and get my money back. The guys in the grading room know they're stuff. They deal with coins everyday and got their eyes trained to spot counterfeits.

On the right side of the coin to the right of the dragons hand. Look at the little blob looking thing at the difference in the two. That's just one. There are several all over it. And the blob below it. Ones alot longer than the other. Same blob. Ones wider.

Counterfeiters are getting good anymore. They are getting the weights right on several different coins. You can see big differences in the designs if you compare the 2 closely side by side.

I see some very big differences
