SUPER JOB ROBBIE

 

A Black Cabinet Coin is any coin raw/graded that is known by the owner to be altered/faked but is kept as a learning tool. It is also labeled as such and kept separate from other coins in assurance that it will never re-enter the hobby as a authentic coin.

 

examples:

 

1922 no D cent (D removed)

1916 dime added D mint mark

1909 VBD with added S Mint Mark
