Hi, I have what appears to be a 1970 two cent coin missing the reverse press. It weighs and measures what iv been told it should and had no reaction to a magnet so I believe it warrants further investigation by a professional? If so where do I start because on the very very slim chance it's genuine i wouldn't want to leave it with just anybody and I'm over 3 hours away from the nearest coin shop anyway. Is PCGS ultimately my only choice? Thank you. Ps more than happy to post photos if I can work out how to!
The better the reputation, the less likely something will happen to it. If you want it verified/graded you'll have to leave it with someone anyway so may aswell be PCGS. Upload photos here- http://m.imgur.com/upload
The blank side next to another two cent. I'll get some better photos when the uploaded stops being faulty.
10 cents! It would be a strange thing to forge, so if one side looks good (genuine), you'd rather expect it to be so. How did you come across it?
I'm still working on getting a photo up of the other side but for some reason it keeps uploading the first one again. It was found in an old world coin collection album I bought at an auction which turned out to be a great buy as iv found quiet a few rare coins in it. The other side is a press from 1970 that's exactly the same as another 1970 2C so I'm hoping its genuine. It's getting sent to PCGS soon along with some other coins I found.
