[WTS] 1971-D Kennedy Half on a Silver Planchet error coin 1 1

[EagleRJO]

Idk about that Morgan even though it looks pretty good and may be a Near Date VAM-4. The date looks a little off, particularly the closed 6 and misshapen 8.

Even though it's a lower value worn Morgan, there have been contemporary copies made which get into circulation. Or maybe it just took a hit to mash the date. Hard to tell with those pics. I would post better pics to the Newbie section in a new topic.

I'm not a scam artist, .... Has anyone ever had the experience of being approached at a gas station or electronics store parking lot by someone wanting to sell an iphone, speakers, laptop etc, usually at well below market price? The low price is a red flag for a scam, which is why I raised it....

The lead comment evokes a former president's still-notable line... "I'm not a crook."  I have sat here very quietly watching this thread evolve but came to a FULL STOP when I read what followed. Actually, at least in my neck of the woods, a low price is a red flag for a legitimate article that had been stolen.  But here, of all the low-down dirty tricks I've ever encountered, a newly-minted member RAISES THE PRICE well beyond FMV, whatever that may be, for no other reason than to avoid the suggestion of impropriety, i.e., the appearance of a scam... Now, that's chutzpah!

Did you at least confer with family [Taylor's 1-6] before committing this ongoing faux pas?

I do hope @Oldhoopster doesn't see this.  @ronnie stein: any chance you can work wonders for @Taylor7 the way you did for me?

This listing needs to be nuked.

[Note:  FWIW, this thread to my knowledge, features the only instance in recorded NGC Chat Board history, in which an audible four-letter word was seamlessly inserted into a reply via a YouTube snippet entitled, "WestWorld-Bernard Is."

I finally got my hands on a scale I trust and did an SG test and it turns out the coin is not silver. Deleted the original post. It was never my intention to scam or deceive, hence the discussion on testing methods and what would constitute proof. I really don't understand the hostility. There is a lot of conflicting information. For example, in the Cherry pickers guide the author states NOT to look at the edge of the coin to differentiate Cu-Ni clad coins from 40% Ag. I suppose its possible the coin is plated, but I don't understand how only the obverse/reverse would be plated and not the edge. I suppose its also possible that since the coin was dipped in E-z-est and many silver coins had been previously dipped that caused the change in color when exposed to sulfur, but I don't think such a small amount of silver could make the coin shine like it does or pass the tissue test.

Scam Artist. Either that or the biggest dope this year. 

I can lay claim to locking down not "this year" but 2020 with my cocky query, re diagnostic markers:  "Who put it there?" I still bear the bruise from the retort you lobbed at me! [Another member commandeered WonderCoin to weigh in on the hullabaloo!]  Live and learn; it's all good.

A certified scamster would have fled the premises and never showed his face again..  This new member came back! Give credit where credit is due, I always say. 

P.S.  To all other members within the sound of my voice:  I hereby retract all intemperate remarks I have previously made regarding this matter.

He does deserve credit for that, and I edited my comments accordingly.
