View Full Version : The 1959 Mule Discussion
What's your thoughts on that? Legit or Fake? It sure looks legit to me.. But after finding that hollowed out 1929 I dunno.. But you would think a metal expert would be able to see if it spliced together or the composition of the metal would be able to match the mint products?

PICs always look good. From that perpective , I'd say yes !
Welcome Wheaties.. Yeah it's a tough call.. But something has to be said for the Tier 1 services not certifying it..
Where did you get this picture? Is this a real example?
You can usually tell by bouncing the coin. Fakes have a totally different sound. The edge of the coin usually has some evidence.

Now that's a transitional variety that even our newest member, Wheat Cents, would have to agree is a hot coin.

I hear there at least three others out there!
Man so even with an electron scope what's the reservation of not certifying it?
